Jardin de Capricho

Went adventuring with David and meant to find el Parque Juan Carlos I.  Found Jardin de Capricho instead.  Quite a fortuitous find!  It was beautiful, with lots of little structures, lakes, hedges, trees, flowers...you name it!  We meandered around for awhile and then enjoyed a luscious plot of grass for a little descend.  I even got to ride alllllll the way to the end of a metro line in order to get there!
 After the park and before looking for the metro stop, David and I went to a really cook tiki cafe/bar to have a drink and enjoy the outside a little more.  We waited and sat outside, but no one came to get our order.  Then we inquired inside if we order in there or our, and after being informed that we order outside, we waited some more.  Finally after about 25 minutes, we decided to leave.  At least we got a free patio sitting, which never happens in this country considering if you eat outside there is an extra charge.

First thing we saw....I felt like I was in a fairytale 


This one's for you, Ma.

We "accidentally" crossed a rope and ended up walking on the wrong side of the lake/river for quite some time
