We left Istanbul yesterday and arrived in Madrid for a 7 hour layover except K was unable to get a visa to enter Spain. Somehow we managed to talk our way in anyways past the passport police and they let him go with no visa! We were amused and took the (very clean) train into the city and did a whirlwind walking tour while having no idea what we were seeing. Madrid was very beautiful although K said he couldn't live there as we couldn't find anywhere to buy fresh fruit. We stopped and had little sandwiches of melted brie and jam. The passport police on the way back in were even more flummoxed by the lack of visa and eventually let us in since they didn't know what to do with the visa--I think K's UN card helped to confuse them more! random unidentified photos of madrid above.
