We Walked Across Town
We Ran Out Of Energy
Caught The Metro Home
Not fazed by Viena needing to be carried home through the street of Madris, we once again headed off into the city 0 our goal – a second hand clothing store near El Retiro park. Viena seemed to be walking OK in the morning. Ezra was the one dragging us down causing us to almost turn around be roe we started. We went a different way that took us past a church in an interesting plaza. The Corte Ingles store on Gran Via is our Landmark for Plaza del Sol. Lots of people out and now Ezra was skipping and running. We discovered the clothing store on Calle de Atoch and then continued onto Parque El Retiro. I wanted to see the falling angel statue. We walked past all the booksellers. this is where things started to break down. The time was 4PM and we did make it to a playground in Retiro Park, and Ezra found some energy to play with some Danish boys on Autumn break. Viena’s condition kept going downhill and she ended up leaving some lunch over behind the park bench. She said she felt better, but she was not going to be able to walk the 4km back home. I ended up carrying her to the nearest Metro – our first Madrid Metro – and luckily the Metro was heading right back towards our place. Another mule-carry-Viena down Calle de Palma and we were safe and sound at home.
