Parque de las Naciones

On Thursday we visited our friends Dani and Yoli and Marco. We took a walk to the Parque El Capricho. Apparently, Goya used to go there and paint pictures. This is Goya's well known "Self Portrait with my Son:"


Just kidding. That's actually Goya's well known painting of Saturn devouring his son.


Here we have A, Dani and Yoli and little Marco in front of the Parque El Capricho. Notice how A has insinuated herself into the family unit. Dani and Yoli had better be careful.

This is about as far as we got because the park was closed. So we took another walk to another park. This one is called the Parque de las Naciones. It's not as nice as El Capricho, but it was a really nice day, with no lake effect snow or unseasonable blizzards. We had a nice time.


I think this is going to be this year's Christmas card. We take nice photos here at amagomundi. Some of the best.

Unfortunately, no one is allowed to practice piraguismo without shoes at the Parque de las Naciones, so we had to go home. But not before Dani and Yoli fed us some fine Spanish ham and Manchego cheese.

You know, we have been eating so much ham and chorizo that we are starting to experience profound changes in our bodies. Here is a picture of S just before bed: Boom. That's what happens when you eat too many pig products. Freddy had better be careful.
