Madrid


The Ephemeral Rainbows in Crystal Palace in Madrid, Spain 



Linda posted this photo on her blog recently. What an amazing place! We missed this when we were in Madrid but I do remember having a fabulous lunch after we had been in The Prado (famous art museum with amazing art). For about $10 each we had a three course meal that had paella as an appetizer, then suckling pig, wide choice of desserts, and a half litre of wine each. 

I think this was in 1999 when a Spanish Colleague of Jim's had invited us to Spain and let us use a spare apartment he had in Madrid. We also visited them in their villa in the countryside. 

Spain seemed very cheap in those days compared to the UK and France.
