Tapas, Yoda and walking Madrid





Master Yoda enjoying a salmon bocodilla sandwich.  Muy bien!











Many former car traffic streets have been converted to walking and bicycling areas to improve public health and cut down on air pollution.  Not a bad idea.  The cloth shades help with the summer heat.


























Twilight ads on the Madrid Metro.


























Calamari tapas in an outdoor cafe in Madrid.  Delicioso!


























Master Yoda sees the force of Mahou cerveza.  These beers are .25 liter, or about 7 ounces, and taste great.  A tiny cold cerveza on a hot summer day in Madrid is a really good thing.





This is the pond inside the Atocha train station.  Lots of people's former pet turtles here in the old part of the train station that has been converted into a beautiful terrarium, so the new high speed AVE trains arrive in a different area.  It's hard to be here and not remember that nearly 200 people died in the bombs set here in 2004, right before the national elections.
