Madrid, Puerto del Sol

NEWS FLASH – DRESS CODE MADRID

I would say based on the above pictures, anything goes, and this is a small sampling. Before I departed on my journey, I researched what the people in Madrid wear. I read, definitely no shorts, you will stand out like a sore thumb…………………..um, looks to me like if you don’t wear shorts you are a sore thumb.

Second comment on the internet, the Madridians are very conservative, not one for fashion flair, dress up for every occasion. I realize I am in tourist central, but please, not all these folks are tourists………no way.

Lots of skinny jeans, which my daughter gave me a pair before I left San Antonio that I didn’t look bad in, and I am so glad she did, cause now this old lady can fit in.

Lots of “tennis” shoes also, which the internet says will make you stand out as a United States tourist. My thoughts on this…….the USA has influenced the Spanish wardrobe…….and in a huge way.

No churros and chocolate yet, I was so tired that when they let me in my room, I laid down and fell asleep, dreaming of Spain, and when I woke up, I was shocked that I was in Spain. Damn Jet Lag…..

Now that I have had my nap, I have refreshed myself with a shower, and I am starting to feel like getting out of the room, I will sign off for now, OH WAIT THERE’S WINNIE THE POOH

Tomorrow is another adventure. Royal Palace, Tapas Tour and who knows.

To be honest, who knows what today has yet to bring to the table.

Adios, mi amigos.
