June 24, 2018 Sunday

We had no choice but to go out and bear Madrid’s summer heat otherwise we would be stuck inside the hotel.  We followed the hotel’s direction to walk towards the right.

I am seriously suggesting that policemen in Manila ride horses instead when patrolling the streets. They save on gas, save on car maintenance, and when it’s heavy traffic, the horses can walk on the sidewalk.

The glare and the heat were not conducive to posing for photos. It was just too hot in Spain during this season.

I tipped the lady Euro 2 and the torero or matador Euro 2.

What he was doing was difficult. And under the heat of this burning sun? I gave him Euro 2.

Felt like melting butter while my husband tried to find the right angle.

There was a very long line for tickets to the palace. I admire these tourists' determination and tolerance of the heat. I bet these people were from the North Pole.

Sobrang sulit na sulit na itong sombrero ko. I bought it in Lisbon for Euro 5, super sulit.
