madrid!

we came back to madrid on tuesday afternoon....i checked into my hotel which is about 2 blocks away from kerry and austin's apartment.  on wednesday we just did daily things...we walked to the market...it's about a mile away...shopped, walked back....we did laundry....mundane things...nice to see where kerry and austin live and what their life is like....

 thursday kerry and cedar and i took the red bus tour...austin's back in school....we saw different parts of madrid...it's a pretty city....the palace is gorgeous!  but, then, cedar wasn't feeling well, so we got off the tour...took a taxi back home....later in the afternoon kerry and austin took cedar to the doc...he had the beginnings of bronchitis!  that afternoon, i got brave... i needed to fill my nails...so kerry took me to a nail salon...that was a fun experience!  i had two girls working on each hand....they used no machines...just files...they were done really fast!  then, i went to this little restaurant up the street and got kerry and i sandwiches.....ham is really big in spain...everything is ham...it's iberian ham....it's pretty salty and dried....they just make sandwiches with delicious bread and ham...that's it...you'd think it would be dry or boring...but, it's delicious!  so, we just hung out at home...they went to the doc...i stayed home...then, we had dinner later....friday, kerry and i did a bit of fun shopping...always a hit with us!! after cedar's nap when austin got home we went to a baby store for some blankets, then dinner at a little restaurant...it was a fun time!
