Biblioteca
The Kids Were Quiet For Hours
Right Next To Our Place
Nice day to be in Madrid. Viena and I brought home some fresh bread from the panadaria for breakfast. This morning Viena is glad she is wearing a sweater. We walked to the playground and then onto the neat new library close by – Conde Duque. They have a nice clean empty children’s section – empty of people and lots of children’s book. The library must be new. Ezra and Viena entertained themselves with books for at least an hour. They miss the non digital book, regardless of the language. Dwana had packed a picnic so we walked to the park towards Gran Via, and sat next to a cafe and the main road. We saw a father and son here yesterday with their homemade sandwiches and leeks. To eat at most restaurants is at least 10€ or $15 so we bring our lunch wherever we go. Not many children out in the early afternoon. We saw a newborn with lots of Spanish hair. He will find out how it is to grow up in Spain in the year 2013. Today with sunny and clear with wonderful weather. I have heard about the hot Spanish summer. I am glad we are here in the fall. I went on a run to the University of Madrid. They have a beach volleyball net in the middle of their running track. They have a climbing wall outdoors and not many students around the campus. Ezra, Viena and I walked to buy 1€ fresh blended fruit fruit drinks from the open market. Ezra cut his finger and out drain his energy. A peaceful day in Madrid, let the night begin.
