We’ve been here a week now. It’s been a lot of fun so far. The hotel room is situated such that it’s pretty late in the morning before the sun lights up the room. On several occasions it’s seemed that it should be around 6:00 am and it ended up being 9:30. Thank goodness we’re not on a rigid schedule. This is a vacation after all!
This morning we actually got up around 7:00 since we had gone to bed relatively early last night. Checking the balcony and looking down the street we were able to tell this was going to be a glorious sunny day.
After breakfast we headed out to go see the Egyptian Temple of Debod because you just don’t turn down an opportunity to see a 2000 year old Egyptian temple in person, especially with things as tense as they are in the Middle East right now.
There was plenty to see as we made our way to the temple. Right off the bat I noticed this statue of an angel standing on it’s head…
*edit* we discovered later that his was a privatlely owned sculpture of Icarus and that it belongs to the sculptor who made it and that is his private residence.
Just a bit further down the road we came to the Royal Palace of Madrid
Then William had to get in on the act…

Tip: It’s always good to visit sites like this early in the morning. You beat the throngs of tourists and get a better view of the thing your going to see…

We walked on down the side of the palace and headed to the park
Cynthia and William got to ham it up with the local constabulary…
Before long we reached our destination, The Egyptian Temple of Debod
After that we hiked back to the Puerto Del Sol for some lunch and then headed back to the hotel room for a nice long siesta, but not before spotting an “old friend” at Kilometer Zero…
The Egyptian Temple is gonna be my new desktop at work! It’s perfecto 🙂 I think over the past 2 years I’ve always had at least one of your shots on either my work computer or home computer. I will be sorely upset when you guys quit taking trips and seeing the world through that amazingly magical lense you both see through.
