Those are great pictures man. Anyone who has been to Spain is surely living vicariously through them.
hmmm... looks like a lot of homosexual activity there, sjc. we're staying @ gran versailles in chueca, so we've had just about enough of our people. does look nice though. thx for the comments and suggestions, y'all. i'm pretty sure we're done with traveling by train for the remainder of the trip (we just have one full day left... leaving on sunday. toyed with the idea of going to el escorial tomorrow, but we just want to take it easy and enjoy being with the normal folk. pretty sure i'm done posting pics. don't want donkeymagic to post the "surprise! no one cares!" carebear pic.
Omega, hope you didn't take this the wrong way. I just thought you would enjoy the place. It's actually pretty nice. Sounds like you are having a great trip. I'd enjoy seeing more pictures!
wasn't the least bit offended, sjc. my bad for going the route of riet and omitting emoticons for dramatic effect. i was expecting you to say something like taking a side flight to vienna since i'm a little closer. it was a pret-ty cool suggestion.
