just a quick post to say that mommy and I arrived safely in Madrid. It took no less than four non-English speaking people to help us find the way from the metro to my apartment (should have been 1.2 km, but i think we walked at least 4), but we saw some of the city while we were lost and I am so freaking excited about it. There were lots of joggers and yoga-ers. There is a doenner place on the corner. they have normal brown sugar in the grocery store! More about Madrid as I discover it + catchup posts about germany, Belgium and Switzerland to come (probably).
