San Isidro

Today was San Isidro day in Madrid. San Isidro is Madrid's patron saint. Ben didn't have to work and I was able to move some classes around so I could get off early. When I got home Ben and I headed to Parque San Isidro. If you're from the Spokane area, imagine this: all the people, participants and spectators, from Hoopfest and Bloomsday attending Pig Out in the park. That is what the park looked like. The main roads surrounding the park were blocked off to cars and lined with food vendors. The grassy areas were covered with people enjoying a day in the park. We tried "rosquilla", the typical sweet for this holiday and walked around enjoying the weather like everyone else.
