Madrid . Day 1

Successfully made it to Madrid yesterday.  Although it was only a 2.5 hour flight, using public transportation to get to the airport in Rome and then to the hostel in Madrid made it an all day affair.  We made it with no problems though.

Today, Mike and I went out exploring.  Our main goal was to go find a new riverfront park that West 8 (a landscape architecture firm) designed.  The park is called Parque Rio Madrid and is a 6km long park along the River Manzanares.  It was pretty impressive.  Great park to see as a budding LA.  Lots of cool design details to see.  We of course saw many other cool places on the way to and from the park...
