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).

The Grand DINK scooter...

 Graffiti on the wall reading "Autogestiona tu vida" and showing a carrot and a sun.

 Statue of the bear and tree (Madrid's emblem) on Puerta del Sol.

Are you a la moda?

 A great sculpture reading "LOVE"

LOVE

 Mannequins at windows: courting

 Isabelle looking dreamy in front of her tinto verrano (the closest to sangria when there is none --which is unforturnate)

Dreamy
In the cerveceria Cervantes, there was a mirror on the wall and in it the reflection of the statue of Jesus from the iglesia Jesus de Medinaceli.

 Isabelle wanted to take a close-up of my eyes; I like the way the photo came out. It looks like I have two planets instead of eyes (or maybe some cells viewed through a microscope)

Eyes

 Isabelle in the Terra Mundi restaurant (that we happen to *not* recommend), waiting to order lunch.

 It's siesta o'clock. Isabelle settled on Wolfgang's lap for a nap.
