To end our happy days in Spain we travelled to the capital
to receive wisdom from the elusive sage, Jaroslav. We did find him, and
he invited us to stay in his sanctuary. He also introduced us to the translator,
momentary photographer, and occasionally transient Junio. We are in the
former flat of Junio, and are joined by the mysterious Jaroslav, who holds
tightly onto a precious friend. |

A sculpture outside the Centro de Arte Reina
Sofia where we had an hour to run through the many rooms...and linger at
Guernica. |

One of Gaudi's lesser known buildings is tucked
away in one of Madrid's many distinct neighborhoods. |

Looking up through the trees in Parque de Buen Retiro close to the Crystal
Palace, we saw dark clouds against the white. While this was the park
of queens and kings, it is now full of families, football games, and buskers.
The liveliness is infectious - although Jaroslav did warn us about the
dangers of the seemingly innocent Disney characters that wander about.
Perhaps Maria had whispered these words in his ear "La unidad
de una cultura proviene del sistema de esparanzas que en ella se dibuja."
