Spain Pics .... Part III ....

.... and hopefully the last part.
We shall see.
Shan't we?
:)

                         Yes, I speak Spanish and no, I have no earthly idea why "Despicable Me" was translated into "Gru".  May "despicable" doesn't translate well.

                                  Pretty original, no?

                     No, I did not enter this establishment.  I needed to save some excitement for my next visit.


                                       I loved these doors:



                           We ate dinner one night in this plaza:

                      
                    The yellow brick road of chocolate heaven:


                                             More cool doors (on the way to chocolate heaven):


                                 And there you go .... a cup of thick, warm chocolate.  I know!!!



                                Son #1 with the Peeps ..... he can hardly control his excitement:

                           These next several are from a beautiful park in Madrid .... that has a name, but well .....

                                There were several of these statues in the park.  Look closely .... they are giant black ants.  Ewwww .....


                      Children watching a puppet show:




               A Spanish American Indian .... posing for money (or ... posing for people who sneak pictures so that they don't have to pay him .....)


       This was THE most pathetic Mickey Mouse ever ......

               ..... SO pathetic that ..... look closely ..... notice anything pathetic?

                         He didn't wear a glove on his left hand!!!!  Seriously?  A one-gloved Mickey????
                         Pa. The. Tic.



                       This was a cool glass building in the middle of the park:




                     And this was the only thing that was inside this cool glass building:


                                  Yes, a stack of plastic.  Don't ask me.  I do not carry the blood of an artist in my                  veins.  And no, there was no sign to indicate what this fantastic work of art was .... or who did it.  Maybe Spanish kids do this as a prank .... like American kids "wrap" (a.k.a. "TP") houses.




                            Wedding pics ..... aren't they cute?


                                OK .... he was totally cute:

                             As were these little girls.  LOVED the tights!



                    These were people in costume for the big parade (see Post 1):



                     Some costumes covered a whole lot less than others:









OK, Peeps ..... there you go.
Madrid.
In pics.
I hope you were entertained for a while.
Now get up and go to the bathroom.
You've been sitting a long time.

And it's now 10:28.
Sheesh.

Happy Wednesday, Peeps.
:)
