In Madrid. November 2011. I arrived last Tuesday, 16 Nov. Lovely time here, with Fall rain. Stayed at RoomMate, and have moved into a spacious piso with lovely rooms and well-equipped near the La Latina metro station, up a block from "El Rastro". Cool!

My visit is two-fold. Collect information on Study Abroad-related programming. A second reason is a visit to the Nacional.
My first evening I had dinner at Emma, my very favorite. Lovely salad, and an order of
bacalao.
Tuesday I arrived at around 8ish with the metro station totally empty. But made it to the hotel in time to relax and have breakfast. And then a long sleep.

As I shifted to Madrid time, I found this incredible bakery near Calle Belén, on the Calle Barquillo. It is called
Pomme Sucre, a wonderfully enticing site. Prices are high.
