My Spanish took quite a hit today, as did my English and most of my higher-level reasoning abilities, due to getting one hour of sleep last night and eating nothing all day As the sun started to set I decided that what I needed to remediate these issues was alcohol and tapas. Oddly, that turned out to make the problem even worse. But I did manage to make it back to my apartment.
Speaking of which, worked out well and is close to a lot of nice parts of Madrid. We also have a vegan cosmetics store and an artisinal florist on our block.
The place is also within really close walking distance of plenty of restaurants, plazas and other areas of interest, including the Parque de el Retiro, which I call "The place I'm going to go for runs over the next few days." Pictures below.
The park is especially beautiful when you ignore the police with machine guns patrolling the place.
It is across the street from the Prado, Madrid's art museum, where I took a class several times a week for several months 40 years ago. I don't remember a thing.
