Getaway

My week-before-last spring break trip to Madrid was mostly a scouting trip for a possible future summer study-abroad class, so I don't have a lot of great stories. (we walked a lot! we did quick sprints through lots of museums! we bought lots of guidebooks!)

There should be a much greater potential for stories, however, from the summer trip we're planning.

This summer's week-long escape will include the following:
