Euro Tour :: Spain, Part I (Madrid Edition)

Tweet

My four country tour of Europe began and ended with stops in Madrid. Powerhouse museums, fantastic architecture, color and light here. A great way to bookend my adventure.

Euro Tour :: Spain, Part II (Toledo, Sevilla, Cordoba Edition)

Made three mini trips within Spain using Madrid as my home base. Incredibly diverse places, symbolic of what Spain is like and what makes it such an interesting place that I will certainly visit again.

A copy of El Greco's "St. Thomas" painted on my iPad.
An amazing experience studying a work like this in the same building he lived and worked, and now a museum.

My signature was already there, honest!
