Madrid Madness (6/18-6/19)

I have to say that driving around Spain--between cities--is pretty easy.  Everything's well-marked and the roads are good.  I still would need GPS though.  That has saved us a lot of trouble and time.

Madrid is the capital of Spain and also its largest city.  There is a lot to see, so when we got here on Sunday (6/18), we got a hop on-hop off bus ticket.  This allowed us to ride around town and we used the excellent Metro a lot as well.

We spent a lot of time in Madrid on the 19th, and didn't get to the Zaragoza hotel until after 8 pm.  That's fine--I'm glad we saw what we did.  If we come back, I think we'll stay at the same hotel, but stay for longer.  Maybe we can take the train to other cities.

¿Cómo se dice "I'm lost." en Español?  Estoy perdido.
