Hiking in Madrid

That was what I really did. I staid at my gooddaughter’s home, meeting her boyfriend for the first time. We had a really nice hiking trip on the mountains north of Madrid. The walk went through pine tree forests, roses (Kistus)  blooming, reached a wild river flowing down from the mountains and followed that. Had our lunch on a granite stone. After sitting in the train that was good exercise and I enjoyed the sun.

  1. Kivalta näyttää noi maisemat siellä ja tosta joesta ja putouksesta tulee mieleen yksi kiva uimareissu Lapissa ;). Me ollaan kesäkuussa Sierra Nevadan vaelluksella, mutta luulen, että siellä on paljon karumpaa.

    1. Mullekin tuli mieleen se kun laskettelimme uiden virran mukana siellä rajan pinnassa, oliko se nyt anterimukka. Tämä joki oli kuitenkin paljon vuolaammin ettei siihen voinut mennä uimaan. Uimapuku osin kastui kun vesipulloni vuoti repussa.

  2. I really like Madrid! I’ve been thinking I would like to live there for awhile sometime in the future.

  3. Food in Madrid is cheap if you buy it from super mercado. Restaurants downtown more expensive.
