Another Sunny Day in Madrid....wandering around

Today, Julia and Michelle left very early on the bus to the airport.  Julia headed back to England  and Michelle headed back to Miami.  Mike and Nancy went with them to catch the airport bus.  I, however, was still recovering from a rough night and never even heard them leave.

Later, the four of us walked around for most of the rest of the day. First, we walked by the Royal Palace, but opted not to go in.  We strolled to a church, but arrived just as the gates were closing for siesta time.  (San Francisco Church where Michael and Nancy are considering going for Easter Mass next week.)  Our feet took a break at Starbuck's where we all had expensive iced coffees.  But, we had grilled cheese and ham at the flat, so...saved money that way.  My stomach is definitely not feeling adventerous today!

Later, we went on a quest to find a statue of an angel that marks the spot where there was an attempted assassination of the king and queen in the early 1900's.  The assassin was the uncle of a friend of Mark's on the Theatre Board on Nantucket. But, we were unable to find the spot, unfortunately.  However, we all had a nice ramble and Michael talked a man who was hanging up posters into giving him one for Nancy, which was nice. 

In addition, we filled out a complaint form at  Ginger, the restaurant where we got sick.  They were not happy to give us the form, but they did and we filled it out and will mail it in a place not quite as busy as Madrid.
