This One Has Pictures Which Are Not on Facebook

This morning I needlessly took the bus again to Retiro because Magi thought the Metro was still down. We stayed up last night trying to figure out a quicker way to get to my work via train and bus – however, I don’t think there is a quick way. And once I was sure that the Metro was running this morning, I got off the stop and walked to Principe de Vergara. Ohh, Principe de Vergara is such a beautiful name. It’s not a very beautiful street, but it means so many things – you’re in the Centre, you have access to a lot of lines. (It's the same with Avenida de América.)

Today at work was different – instead of writing and editing, I finally got to publish some things on the internets! Yay! You cannot see them yet because they’re invisible when I’m not working on them (which is anywhere between midnight and midday for those of you stateside, depending on where you are in the States). They probably won’t be up for another month because of PR, but rest assured that my day at work was good.

I’m making plans to visit this place so that I can get myself a book in English. I finished the only English novel I brought from home a few weeks ago, and it's time to purchase some more Metro-reading material, especially since the Metro seems to be back online. The English bookstore is in the opposite direction of where I live, so it will be an adventure.

And I need to go on another adventure to find stamps. I need an estanco, but they’re never around when you need them.

Now it is picture time – which aren’t on Facebook, so readers will have some incentive to read this blog.

This is proof that I stood in front of the Museum Reina Sofia. I went inside it, too, but no pictures were allowed.

Inside the Catedrale de la Almuneda

Modern stained-glass window. Very pretty.

La, la, lala la la-la. This is from the day trip to Toledo. I think the Alcazar is the large squarish building behind me.

La Catedrale de la Almuneda, right in front of the Palacio Real.

Got my sights and pull trigger... That is actually really terrible.

This is a whole mis-mash of different days. There is no rhyme to these photos (except for the common factor of being taken in Madrid), nor reason to how they were ordered.

I'd like to do a trip to Segovia soon. I would really, really like to go to Barcelona at some point, or visit some acquaintances down in Sevilla. However, I have made no plans on that front yet.

Blogging compatriots, make me accountable to you if I do not go to Barcelona.

In front of the Palacio Real.

The Catholic version of Heaven... an endless eternity of waiting rooms, going on and on...

This is also from the weekend in Toledo. I'm sorry Shakespeare, but I had a weekend fling with Cervantes.

Hey, this is also from Toledo. Alfonso VI, anyone?

I'm trying to mess with your perception, but I think it's going to end up in a very bad, poorly-laid-out post.
