Sleep deprived in Madrid

After a short nap, we decided to explore the city a bit. May 1st is Día del Trabajador in Spain, which is like our Labor Day in the States. We decided to walk to Parque del Retiro, a large urban park with lots of trees, a plethora of walking paths, and two small lakes. The park was filled with families, couples, and individuals taking in the gorgeous day.

There were lots of rowboats. Parque del Retiro is an absolute gem in Madrid. We enjoyed being part of the collective experience.




We ended the night eating dinner, and then enjoyed a nice stroll back to our apartment. Madrid was hopping.
