  1. Another enjoyable video! I actually watched this one late on Saturday night, but by the time it was done, it was getting late and I was getting too tired to write. (well, who knows, maybe it was the vino 😉)

    Anyway, it was nice to see a bit of Madrid again. The city hall was very beautiful, naturally! It made me think about Boston's city hall, and the comparison is striking. Our city hall was built in the late 1960's in the ''brutalist' style – lots of concrete. Very cold, very austere, and just plain ugly. It looks like a prison from the outside – and inside too! Boston's old city hall is a French restaurant now, and is very beautiful, but quite small compared to Madrid city hall.

    I forget some of the details of the video, but I noticed the long lines at the Prado National Museum. Wow, that place is big. It's good to see the tourists returning again. That looks like a place I'd really enjoy visiting. About ten years ago, I used to take the train down to Washington, DC from Boston on the Fourth of July and spend the day visiting all the national museums. Art, science, history – I enjoy them all. It was always very crowded with tourists on the Fourth, which made it a very fun atmosphere, but it was very hot and humid too. After three years, I started visiting New York City on the Fourth of July instead. (excellent hotel rates on the Fourth in NYC!)

    The Atocha Station – that was really great. The palm trees inside the station were a real surprise, and beautiful. I noticed lots of tourists taking pics inside the station. I've travelled across the USA by train many times, and I just love old railway stations. Boston's is smaller, but very beautiful. New York's Grand Central is amazing, along with Chicago's Union Station. I would even say that LA's Union Station is very good too, even though it was only built around the time of World War 2.

    Enjoyed it very much!
