Madrid

Madrid – first stop. Crowded streets but full of history. Learned more about the atrocities of the human race, but also of the bravery of individuals that never make it into the hitstory books. During the Spanish Civil War, many civilians were killed and many fled to escape death. There were individuals coming from different countries to assist with the children and refugees. Most never to survive. That revives my hope in the human race. Interesting that human beings can be so evil and yet so compassionate and brave at the same time. What causes the wide spectrum?

First experience with tapas. They love olives and bread… seafood and meat. I will go for the olives, bread and some seafood.
