May 17th After a hideous night’s sleep I was extremely grumpy in the AM. I hid it pretty well although I don’t think I strung more than ten words together until noon. We cafe-d and got desayuno para llevar and then set off to Atocha for the second day in a row. [This time we actually had the intention of going somewhere] Having already purchased tix the day before, we had time to sit and enjoy breakfast before boarding the renfe train to Toledo. My seat mate was tuning me out. Clearly, I wasn’t enjoying… Read more >

May 16th We were supposed to meet Alene & Ethel in the morning, but they needed extra zzzz time so the Dieden clan headed out to take on Madrid once again as a party of five. Starting with Atocha, we took in the station from afar, then up close, then inside. I hadn’t seen it since the bombings in 2004, so I was curious how different it would look from the first time I saw it (in 2002). It felt like a greenhouse because of the section of plant life with the clear glass windows… Read more >

May 15th. Slowly but surely I am getting through my Spain travels…here’s more from Madrid, starting up again right where I last left off. I woke up early(ish) to get beautified before meeting Alene at Starbucks. It’s so much fun meeting up with friends when you are traveling. I love my family, obviously, but it’s especially great when both your family and your friends want to travel together. I’m a lucky girl – although to be honest, since Alene and I have been friends from age 4, it’s almost more accurate to call her family. … Read more >

Last I left off, we were dining on sushi after a whirlwind day in Versailles. It was nearly 9 pm at this point and the sun still hadn’t even set…which meant we still had time in the day to fit in more sight seeing. Next up, the Arc de Triomphe! Cue the Eiffel Tower montage… Once again our museum passes were super useful as we slipped right into the front of the line without waiting even a second. I wasn’t exactly eager to get to the stairs (my poor feet were heavily bandaged at this… Read more >

Highlights only. I could never recap an entire week! Footed PJs are the cutest thing ever. Saturday morning we had an open house. Rather than subject P to a million people germing up the joint, I took him for a walk. We went to the Farmer’s Market to re-stock on spinach (this habit requires a constant influx of greens). After everyone left I came home and got ready for a BBQ with friends. We picked up some apps on the walk over (oh how I will miss these easy walks to friends houses in Santa… Read more >
