Madrid, 4-6 May 2006

Isabelle and I met in Madrid for a few days. Her husband Wolfgang was there for business and we were there for shopping when it was raining and sight-seeing on the Saturday. A very enjoyable three day gathering. See also the flickr set (12 photos).

 Military gathering on Plaza Mayor. We stood there under some light rain for a while and failed to understand what the purpose was.
