Delta sucks, and delayed us about three hours, made us get off the plane, etc, but I got here. Madrid looks to be a lot of fun (only been here about 12 hours). The hotel is great, and in a great location (feet from kilometro cero, ie. the center of the city), and I got to see the Royal Palace today. They have a room there filled with Stradivarius violins, which I´m guessing are around 350 years old. I don´t play those instruments, but I can appreciate quality like that. And famous musicians get to come to the palace and play them semi-regularly, which is pretty awesome.
So yeah, weather is great, women are very great (looking at least), and I think my sis, mom, and I are going to have a lot of fun. Will be tough to decide whether we´re going to spend the extra day here or head to Toledo, but I´m confident I´ll work through it. Prado museum is coming up tomorrow and more wandering about this city.
Really clean for a European city which is cool. Especially given my memories of Rome.
Give America a big ¨fuck yeah¨ for me

Toledo is wonderful and I'd definitely recommend going if you have the chance. That said, if it's between that or seeing El Museo de La Reina Sofia (the modern art museum, home to Picasso's Guernica, among others) in Madrid, I'd stay there. Either way, you can't lose.
TOLEDO-Burial of Count Orgaz. Greatest painting ever. Not really but very close. El Greco (THe Greek for those who don't speak Spanish) was an awesome painter. Modern before modernity and all that
