Day 2

Best. Sandwich. Ever.

Several of you have asked. So here it is.  I am on Day 2 of my trip to Europe and North Africa.

Day 1 can be summed up as a great day of SLEEP!!

What I love:

The architecture in Madrid is absolutely breathtaking. The weather this time of year is pretty awesome (high 70s/low 80s). SN: someone actually said it was hot today and I had to work really hard not to give her a side eye. I really wanted to tell her to try life in Florida, but I just smiled and posted on social media.

What I am working on loving (notice I didn't say what I hate):

The food. My trip to Greece last year spoiled me. I mean EVERYTHING in Greece is good, EVERYTHING. I realize I can be a tad bit picky when it comes to food, but so far, the menu choices I've seen at 95% of the restaurants are pork and pork. Did I mention pork?? So, the chicken sandwich with fries that I had to today was absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Ever.

Seriously though, for an extroverted introvert traveling solo with a bunch of people I don't know, I am truly having a good time.

P.S. If you really want to learn Spanish, Spain is a good country to start. Watching tv alone will increase your vocabulary, as I've yet to find any English speaking stations - don't even ask about
closed captioning. And yes, the American TV shows are in Spanish as well 😉
