...this time to Madrid. We got up and got moving early, onto a bullet train from Barcelona to Madrid. This the fastest I have ever moved on land...30 km/hr...roughly 187 mph! The ride was smooth as silk, and we had a picnic on the train. Unbelievable!
There was a tour of the Royal Palace this afternoon but I had a hard time enjoying it because I woke up an hour before my alarm this morning. After that was a couple of hours of free time before a group dinner. And what a dinner it was! First course: chorizo, cured pork loin, cured beef (sliced very thin), Manchedo cheese.
Well Google is not cooperating. I was going to post pics of the meal, but I guess I will have to type it. 2nd course was salad; romaine lettuce, steamed red pepper, bonita (fish), green olives, and a wonderful vinagrette dressing.
3rd course; Spanish mushrooms, sliced very thin and sauteed, had a beefy flavor, very good.
4th course: Spanish tortilla...a potato fritatta served with a wonderful tomato asuce.
5th course: Sea salt crusted beefsteak, medium, served with steak fries. (Melts in your mouth!)
Dessert: Chocolate! This was a cross between fudge, ice cream, and tiramisu...delicious! All washed down with red wine...more to come tomorrow. Adios!
