Back to the Point: Spain

The point of this blog was to put up our pix from our trip to Spain last September in a piecemeal fashion so that viewers could understand what they're looking at and not suffer vacation photo burnout. Now that we're planning another trip to Spain in six weeks, I'll have to hurry to get my pix up. Let's see how I do.

Breakfast in Madrid: Breakfast is not a hearty plate of pancakes and sausage. It's more often a quick pastry and a cafe con leche. Since I don't drink coffee, I end up with fresh-squeezed orange juice. You don't sit at a table with a grumpy waitress coddling you until you're hard-boiled. Instead, you head for a place like La Mallorquina in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid and eat your pastry standing up as if you were in a bar, except that it is all baked goods and coffee. More detail here.

Our first breakfast in Spain at La Mallorquina on August 31, 2009:
