zona fumadora

People chain smoke here like it's their job. Plus they are still allowed to smoke inside cafes + bars + restaurants. Here is a smoker zone in the airport, but since there is no door it completely defeats the purpose. The entire floor smelled like smoke. Joke.

dar un paseo

We took a stroll down to the main plaza in Alcala de Henares.

They were having some craft fair so we checked it out, there are no people because it is (1) siesta and (2) sunday. Oh Spain.

Jess + rose bushes!

Baby girls.

Hola Don Quijote + Cervantes

so pretty!

Fun fact: Calle Mayor in Alcala is the longest and oldest pedestrian main street in Spain!

And Jessie used to live on it! Here is her old piso!

Some other plaza:

Me and a building:

Here we are:

Fact #1= I have long lanky arms

Fact #2 = my wingspan is longer than my height (yes, I've measured)

This is what Spaniards looks like when they dan el paseo (take a stroll)

Here is the main plaza:

elephante

An upside down elephant doing acrobatics. KHORN!!!!!

museo thyssen

Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza offers art from 13th century to 20th century. It's a fine museum and I don't know why it doesn't get as much hype as Museo del Prado or la Reina Sofia.
