Yesterday in Madrid

Yesterday in Madrid it was absolutely perfect. A little chilly, but with puffy high clouds, a light breeze and the terrific light you seem to only get in Spain.

Today it's Holy Thursday it's cloudy and cold. We had to have pasta for lunch because we didn't plan on everything being closed. We were going to have pollo al ajillo, but instead we invented a vegetable pasta using whatever was left over in the fridge and pantry. It tasted pretty good with the grated parmesan cheese that La Doge brought us when she came to visit us from Venice.

Mary is visiting us this week and it's been great to have her here. We were sorry we couldn't feed her our famous pollo al ajillo today. Maybe we can do that on Holy Saturday. Or Holy Friday if we can find any stores that are open.

Some of our readers have been anxious to get a sneak peak at Ron Mueck's sculptures that are being exhibited at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo in Málaga. The man that you can see in the background has been added for scale.


"A Girl." Mueck's work will be at the CACM until June 17, 2007.
