Well, we’re back. We’re home. We’re sitting on the couch watching TV (election results!) while surfing on our laptops. It hasn’t even been a week and we’re back to doing the same old thing.

This is what we were doing last Tuesday in Madrid:

• drinking cafe con leche at a local bar
• buying an umbrella at El Corte Ingles to protect us from the all-day downpour
• eating pastries filled with chocolate in a bakery at the Puerta del Sol
• touring the fancy rooms and the way-cool armory at the Palace
• eating the menu del dia at a cozy restaurant near the Plaza Mayor
• riding a city bus to the outskirts of Madrid just to look around
• watching a Scottish bagpipe group march through Puerta del Sol (they were raising money)
• eating late-night tapas while wishing we could stay in Madrid

There’s just no comparison. Last Tuesday was way more fun than today.

We had an awsome time in Spain and my trip to Costa Rica was also fabulous. I’ve got a lot to write about so I’m going to try to write several short posts over the next few weeks. Stay tuned…
