Madrid was a blur. It wasn’t actually a destination but more a stop on our way from Granada to San Sebastian and a chance for me to visit colleagues in our Madrid office. It was a brief but good stop.
Since Granada was a pretty busy time with lots to see each day and very hot temperatures, the kids needed a break. So we booked an Airbnb in the suburbs of Madrid that was in a complex that had a swimming pool and was also only a stone’s throw away from a basketball court for Ronan. The apartment was great and our host was so nice and accommodating. Again, another great Airbnb experience.
Brett and the kids remained in and around the apartment complex for our short stay in Madrid, relaxing and playing in the pool. I navigated the metro and made my way into my company’s office. It was an easy 40 minute commute into the office. So nice to have the opportunity to connect with colleagues that I’ve never met before. They were so welcoming and interested in the hearing about our business in North America. Jose, the Operations Leader for the region, took me to lunch at an amazing restaurant across the street in the Real Madrid football stadium. Great conversation and great food. So that was it for Madrid on this visit. Unbelievably, the only photos I took while there were two goofy selfies. One day we will come back and explore the city but for now, on to San Sebastian!
