Florence feels the passion.......

Just a first thought- love the Spanish trains!
Arrived in Madrid- after being in a natural other world for some time, it was like a sledgehammer. People and cars everywhere- people shopping crazily and cars doing whatever cars do crazily.
And
Finding the amazing accommodation that seemed not to be was hopeless......have since dealt with booking .com and they are onto the scamming mongrels of whatever that place was.
Mind you I kind of reluctantly upgraded to Hotel Preciados, across the street. How I suffered!!!!
Organized new accommodation at petit palace Preciados which is awesome.
Today I have seen a cathedral where I was told that god was having lunch and a siesta so it was closed! Don’t get me wrong but there might have been a little something wrong with my Spanish or it was the first cathedral ever where god got a lunch break.
I love the colors of buildings here especially the other cathedral which was pale blue and cream..... very nice!
So I now own clothes that show I have arms covered in skin and not material- what a freedom that is- shoulders bare, back bare..... loads of sun and brown feet! It is delicious after a year of covering up.
And tonight
It was flamenco
In a little side street
In a dark room
And the music
The voices
And the sensuality of the rhythmic beat
And the feet
And .....
I was enthralled.......
So here I am in Madrid
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
