Chocolateria San Gines

We heard about this place where you can stop in and get churros and hot chocolate. We ended up stumbling upon it by accident while exploring by foot. Our curiosity got the best of us when we saw the line. The churros weren't that great, but it was a lovely experience.

Madrid, Spain - Post 1

Nate and I traveled to Madrid, Spain for one week and we returned last Sunday. We had an amazing trip and I am just now getting to re-sizing our photographs and posting them.. all 300 of them.

Our hotel was in Madrid but in a neighborhood slightly outside of the city center in a ritzy neighborhood with high end shopping stores that I would relate to Boston's Newbury Street. Because of that, we ended up purchasing four 10 ride tickets to explore everything by train instead of wasting money on taxis. Do the math and we rode the train 20 separate times together. As you can tell, we tried to see as much as possible during our week in Madrid. This will be one of many posts about our trip.

Human sculptures everywhere (and excellent ones at that!):

We stopped in a lot of eateries to try their tapas y vino:



This one was particularly hip and fun near the Rastro (flea market):
