A busy 1st day in Madrid



The Spanish Flag
w/ a monument to Christopher Columbus (remember him?)


Catedral de la Almudena

The Royal Palace

Plaza Major



I am at the center of Spain (0 km mark)


Palacio de Comunicaciones


Nature vs. Man
(pretty, I think)


Estadio Santiago de Bernabeu
(home of the very famous futbal team, Real Madrid, for whom David Beckham used to play (before he left Manchester United a week before I saw them play in Los Angeles in 2003!), present champions of the Spanish League)


& of course, a bear eating strawberries from a tree...
