The sights and sounds of the streets is something I enjoy. I had a lot of time on my hands while the big guy was working so, I did most of this by myself. It’s a good thing I like to walk around and take in the cities I visit, because you learn a lot.

Madrid is a very bustling place, where getting any type of transportation is as easy as crossing the street. Walking, bicycles, motorcycles, and lots of taxis. Uber is not really there. The cab drivers protested against them about 6 months ago, taking their cars and blocking major intersections. It basically shut down the city. There are street vendors around, some are allowed to be selling their wares, and some are not. The ones that shouldn’t, have a kind of street code with each other. If they see the police anywhere nearby it can either be verbal or a whistle. No matter what they are selling, it can be picked up or hidden very easily.

I saw a lot of fur being worn by the women in this city, not only at the two weddings I saw but just walking around day by day. And on all ages. Not since my days working at The Broadway Fashion Valley have I seen so many minks. “Designer Dresses and Furs. This is JoAnn how may I help you?” If I ever go back, I know where I can wear my moms.

One last thing….families and friends enjoying being together. Laughing, eating, drinking, and conversation.
