Retiro Park
February 12th, 2006 by e-man
We've been having some terrific weather here in Madrid so I spent most of my afternoons studying in the Retiro Park, which, after all, is only a few streets down from where I live.
It's a great place to go jogging or skating, and during the weekends it's a really busy place with percussionist groups roaming the monument, puppet shows for the kids and plenty of terraces out so you can sip your cortado outside in the sun.
Be sure to check out the Retiro park photoset on Flickr.
With weather like this it's easy to feel spring approaching and the intensity of the light is unlike anything in Belgium this time of year.
I'm pretty much done in Madrid. I have done all the exams I have to do here and I'm leaving on the 15th, so this will probably be one of the last posts for this particular blog.
I'm taking a few days off and then start cleaning up my room and start packing!
