Week Two: The Apartment etc.

Our apartment is in a fantastic location in Madrid. We were fortunate to find something that would allow such a short-term rental contract. It is located literally kitty-corner from our friends' house, a four minute walk to school and another five minutes to El Retiro park. It is small, but we have done that before. Here is a view of our combination living and dining room.

Turtles! Swans! Ducks! Pigeons! And literally miles of trails for walking, running, biking, roller-blading, etc. El Parque Retiro
Neighborhood gas station: it is a drive-up. You simply pull off the street onto the parking spot in front of the little casita and he will fill you up!
ADDENDUM: Today the woman responded to me who had the THREE bedroom apartment right next to the boys' school. It is only 80 Euros more per month, and is three times the size. Unfortunately, we signed a contract on this one. I could probably pay to get out of it but I'm not sure what the right option is at this point. I guess I'll sleep on it. Buenas noches.
