I can't believe we've almost been in Madrid for a month now. It seems like we just moved in yesterday, and we're still working on decorating, organizing, and making out little apartment more of a home!
So far we've been lucky to find an awesome place!
With a view:
Close to the essentials:
FruterÃas
Retiro Park
Metro
And I've been surprised at some American comforts!
Dunkin Donuts (AKA Dunkin Coffee)
Organic Eggs
A 24 Hour Store (or 25?)
As well as memories of my darling AndalucÃa:
Olives
Salmorejo
I've turned the big 25!
And started a side business-- Spanish Cooking Classes!
We've been exploring the city this sunny October...
Its monuments:
And markets
Hopefully November will be just as exciting. So far we tentatively plan to:
- Learn to make sushi
- Go see a concert
- Have Ale's parents visit
- Run a 5K
- Decorate our apartment!
We'll see what we actually end up doing. For now, we're happy to be here!

So fun! I love making sushi, although I've never done it totally on my own. Please post pretty sushi pics.
Lauren
I sure will!

Congrats!The cooking classes sound like fun. Here's to more good things to come.
p.s. I didn't think I could love olives more until I moved to Malaga.
