Really the only positive of the day is that we made it to Spain on the day we had planned. In a nutshell, delayed leaving Houston thanks to weather and air traffic control (sorry Dad!), sitting on plane in Philly waiting for late plane to get a gate (weather was terrible in Philly) and watching our direct flight to Madrid pull away from the gate, a little detour to Frankfurt, Germany and then about 8 hours later than planned we land in Madrid. But we made it!
Got a good amount of sight seeing in, thanks to the hop on hop off tour bus that drove us around the city. Even visited the Reina Sofia art museum. Lots of Picasso art, and if anyone wasn't sure, that guy was a weirdo. Very tasty authentic Spanish dinner at what I'd call a local dive (recommended by Rick Steves). Shower and bed. Bed was between 10 and 11 PM and considering how uncomfortable U.S. Airway seats are for sleeping and the lack of sleep we got, I am considering us super travelers!
No pics from today...not feeling real pretty after so much time on a plane and the goal is to not take tons of pics of buildings and landscape without one of us in the pic!
