Evening outing to the palace

The real goal was not in fact the palace but the Famous Madrid Cheap Tapas Restaurant "100 Montaditos."  My friend assured me it was great for kids.

Winston said he wants to get to know the city.  The nearest Montaditos is at the movie theater in the middle of nowhere, so we took the Metro to a different one in the city.

East of the palace is a garden with statues of kings of Spain.  There was apparently a project to represent every king with a statue and now they are all over town and the butt of many jokes.  Whose head is that?  Ramiro had his enemy's eyes put out, not beheaded, so I don't know the answer and neither does Wikipedia.

Montaditos!  Found it!  Every other place was completely empty at 9:00 on Sunday evening.

The 100 in Montaditos is for the 100 different tiny sandwiches for 1€ each.  We really liked what we got.

I was trying to catch the crush of people in this selfie. We were the only ones in there under 20 and over 25, except the staff from South America.  It was good fun, but I am not sure I would recommend it as family-friendly.

Palace, statue, dog; there were enough people out to make it nice. Winston asked what made me laugh that day, at our church small group. The two two-year-olds were a barrel of fun.  One stole everyone's corn chips and toddled all over the garden with them clutched in his hands.

For Winston it was a game that involved getting one's feet tangled up in a rope
and tripping.

The back seat thought this was extremely funny.  Ahhh, sunny Spain.
