A Sunday in Madrid

This past Sunday I went into Madrid with my friend Bruno and met up with some of his friends while we were there. Awesome day!!! We walked around the Reina Sofia. Really great museum and Sundays are free so what could be better. We then walked through the Rastro which is really just a giant flea market. Not my cup of tea but hey, I enjoyed the culture. After that, lunch and a nice walk through the Retiro. Gonna have to take Dad, Aunt Hildee, and Barry there. It's beautiful. We then went to a show called Mayumanu. It was AMAZING. It is like Stomp and it just a huge drum show. Just what I like!!! After the show was done, the actors went out into the lobby with the audience and just kinda freestyled with the drums. It was awesome. Me and Esther (one of Bruno's friends) were dancing around to the music. So much fun. We then went to a Hawaiian bar and then an Irish bar just to relax. Really great night. Just a typical day in Madrid I guess!!!

with love

  2. Wow Kris, you are really getting around! I love how you are enjoying everything you do and are trying all the things that come your way. I'm glad you loved the flamenco - I really want to see that while we are visiting. Take care and have fun. See you soon. Love, Aunt Hildee

  3. If you want to see a flamenco show, I could try to find one in Madrid for that Sunday you come. Flamenco is a southern Spain thing, so Valencia really wouldn't have much of that. I have suggestions of things for you guys in Valencia don't let me forget....only a little more than a week and you guys are here!!!
