El Esecorial

Arrived here on a Friday afternoon, just as the local school was getting out for the summer vacation.  Apparently, the school occupies an interior segment of El Escorial.  El Escorial is the ”summer palace” of Spain’s royal family. Built in the 16th century, it is still in pretty good shape today.

Just arrived from Atlanta this morning. Very pleasant… 72 degrees!

Sooooooooo jealous of your 72 degrees over there in Spain. It’s 97.3 degrees (in the shade) on our back porch right now!

So enjoyed Spain! This looks like another great little spot to check out! Wish we had some of that weather back here in Florida.
