(11:20pm Madrid Time)
It is amazing how a little face time can go a long way. While I have not been getting any face time with downtown Madrid, I am accomplishing considerably more in my meetings – the reason for being one-third of the way around the world.
My hotel is in the middle of a business centre. It is under 100 m away from the offices, but 30+ minutes by Metro away from the downtown core and all its authentically European goodness. There is some merit in crashing in the hotel nearby after working into the evening though, and not having to commute any considerable distance.
The Madrid Metro is fantastic. You can get many places in any number of ways, and its cheap to boot.
Here are more images from Sunday’s out n about
Belting the classics. I think.
I was in time to catch the shoe-on-wire festival!
Museo del Jamon! I waited since 2005 to go back here!!!
The thermometer only reached 7 C.

You mean they’re actually making you do work after flying you a third of a way around the world. I’d complain to your union rep.
