We Love Madrid

Today we took a long walk through the Parque del Buen Retiro. It was sunny and 60 degrees today in Madrid. It felt a hell of a lot like spring.

Pio Baroja was looking dapper. Did you know that Hemingway admired Baroja's work? Apparently, when Hemingway won the Nobel Prize, he traveled to see Baroja, who was then on his death bed, to tell him he thought Baroja deserved the prize more than he did. That's what Wikipedia says, anyway. We recommend his novel, El árbol de la ciencia.

We saw some little air travelers on their way to catch a flight.

And then we came home and watched Alfonso Cuaron's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We are doing research on Cuaron's distinctive visual style.

Oh, by the way, we love our new argyle socks that the Reyes Magos brought us on the morning of the 6th.

We love all the colors we received. We are glad that argyle is back in style. Boo ya.

Ain't life grand?
