Laupäeval võõrustasid Lea ja Raimo oma kodus Euroopa eestlaste koori proovi ja seejärel iseseisvuspäeva pidustusi. Väike pildimälestus ürituselt.

Head iseseisvuspäeva!

Mait really likes meat. When eating he first takes the meat pieces out of the food and when there is no meat left he considers to eat the rest (or to ask for more meat :D)... He already manages to eat a whole normal steak.

Well, next, on saturday the weather was absolutely great, clear sky, sunny and 7^oC.

So i went out to walk to the Parque del Retiro, being really fantastic, comparable New York's Central Park. So i spent there a good part of the day, wearing t-shirt, and enjoying ow people, dressed with coats and scarfs, watching me with incredulity...

I started walking down the Calle de Alcala, passing by the Metropolis building, continuing to old Mail Office, now the new city hall then the Plaza de las Cibeles and the Puerta de Alcala,to finally reach the Parque del Retiro, with his beautiful Estanque Grande (big pond) and it's wide avenues full of life, with plenty of street musicians including some Mariachis and human statues including wizards, toreros and even chewbacca.

On the way back i passed by the Atocha Station, and then i re-did friday's tour to get the pictures... In the afternoon i stayed at the hotel learning a bit GWT.

On sunday, the idea was to borrow a bike from the hotel to bike the new cycling road around Madrid of about 69km in length. But the state of the available bikes was not the best, first only with 20" wheels and not working brakes and loose handle bar.

So i decided to abort the bike trip and went for plan B, to the cinema to watch Avatar. Which was really, really good...
