My Last Day in Spain

Wednesday was my last full day in Madrid.  Mario had to go to his tutoring session, so I went back to the Temple.  I think I will enjoy my time there because of all the English speakers that work there. What a blessing to have a Temple in Madrid.  I am really excited about our opportunity to move there. Nothing is a for sure thing with the military until we are on the plane, but if we do get the opportunity to live there, I am sure we will love it.  I started my Rosetta Stone today.  I get marked down on my pronunciations.   I don't think I'll ever learn to roll my r's.  But if I could just understand it, I'll be happy.

Here are some random pictures from our wonderful week:

We rented a paddle boat at the park and pretended we were in Italy.

Giant statues everywhere

The Spanish Air Force Headquarters where Mario will work.
He's excited about his giant office and it has windows overlooking park.
It will be so much better than working underground.

The International section at the grocery store.  Not cheap!!

All the Prius taxi cabs lined up at airport

We saw them in person at the mall

The characters from the above book.  I didn't want them to see me taking a
 picture so I went far away.  It was very odd especially since
it was in the middle of an expensive department store.

Nice walkway between large multilane street.  Unfortunately
people don't like to pick up their pet droppings.

Huge, confusing roundabouts, everywhere!

Underground Metro

My Itinerary

Hmmm!  Nebraska???  We didn't try it.

Staircase where Mario was tutored

That is a driveway to parking garage thru Mario's tutoring building.
It is very narrow.  I didn't believe a car could fit until I saw the cars parked on the other side.

Freaky motorized stuffed animals at the mall

Another Nebraska restaurant.  Why so popular here?

The grocery cart??
