Ire visit

This weekend we had an important visitor to The Pyramid: Irene, the sister of Carmen. She was in Madrid to do her opposition (exams in Spain to become a civil servant) exams. Up until now she has done better than expected and has reached level three. This is a serious achievement in your first year!

After her exams on friday and saterday morning it was holiday time for Irene and I benefitted with her. Visits mean city walks and other cool tourist stuff. During our walks through Madrid (which included: The Rastro market, Retiro Park and all the important 'barrio's' (neighborhoods)) I am proving to be quite the photographer of city life! Here are a couple of examples and I will be posting more! Keep your eyes open..

On Sunday evening we went to the very cool 'Viva Madrid' described by the Times as 'one of the best bars in the world'. This is certainly true as it is well decorated with ceramics. It is like having a drink in a museum. We recommend it highly!
