View from the little terrasse of our hotel room -- absolutely so quaint

Jason literally in "hog heaven", checking out the Mueseo del Jamon

That's a lot of meat to choose from. . .

Clearly a very serious preparation to dive into the churros con chocolate

He wastes no time and digs in - The Chocolateria's could be a big problem for us

Plaza dr Canovas del Castillo -- I like the Poseidon fountain

View from behind the Museo del Prado on a very sunny day

Beautiful grand buildings at a large interesection

The famous Plaza Mayor known for it's posh restaurants

Catedral de la Almudena

This massive cathedral can be found facing the Palacio Real. Finished in the end of 20th century, it is where the Princes of Asturias Felipe and Letizia were married in 2004.

The Royal Palace -- we did not go inside, only viewed through the gates

Loved the streaks of clouds during the sunset -- view from our terrasse

Yet another grande building, I think the Palacio del Congresso

Entrance to El Retiro Park -- Puerta de Alcala

El Retiro reminded me a lot of Golden Gate Park

How cute are thos ducks!?!?

View of the Palacio de Cristal -- we decided a great place to have a wedding!

Watching the row boats in front of the Estanque Grande and playing "I Spy"
