DAY 188 STREETS OF MADRID

Narrow City Streets

Ruins Transformed into Playgrounds

Green Grass Made For Fun

Park Benches at Playgrounds

Littered With Last Night’s Luau

Who Sleeps Here Tonight?

What? Today We Walk

Not Through The Crowded City

Just To The Playground

We went to Corte Inglés, the big shopping center 10 blocks away from our place. Easy to walk to. We found the 3rd floor which has all the toys and just let Viena and Ezra play for hours. They have not seen a toy store area like this in a long time. They were pretty good when we had to go. We have really done a number on consumerism. We did buy Dwana, Viena and I some needed clothes. I bought some running shoes – not the ones priced at 169€ (200 USD) but 20€ (30 USD). Most of the shoes are around 100€. Not for my feet. So I went for a run when we arrived back at the apartment. I thought these cheap shoes might give me a blister but so far, so good. It felt good to go on a real run, with real running shoes. I have not done any real running since Borneo. Borneo, oh Borneo cough, cough, cough,cough. we saw a flyer for a kid’s movie. It took 5 guys in suits to make the remote control work. By the time we arrive home 8pm. Time for dinner. I guess. These late night starts take some getting used to . We have not seen the moon in a long time. Walked through the Conde Duque. Saw some protesters. Friday must be protest day.
