What do you do when you can't get money out of your account because the ATM says something in Spanish about your institution is not permitting the withdrawal, the kids are fighting, and feet are getting tired? Have some chocolate of course! San Ginés is a very famous local place in Madrid to get "Churros con chocolate". They give you a cup of almost pudding thick chocolate and some churros (sitck like donuts) for dipping, and pretty soon kids are getting along and ATM cards are working again (actually we had just run into a 24-hr lockout).
We are looking forward to tomorrow, when we hope to visit the Spanish Royal Palace in Madrid. Also coming up in the week: Spain vs. Denmark (national teams) at the local fútbol stadium and Chris & Isabelle go to the bullfights.
