Mama Madrilenya...



We started the day in the very best way-
Fresh-squeezed! What glorious OJ!

We then trekked about town, tourists gathered all around
Here you see a Royal Palace foray.


In the Cathedral next door, there is artwork galore
From the windows to altar, from the roof to the floor.


One thing we thought quite neat was the double-sided seat
Facing two different altars- a logistical feat!


Do you know this man here? He's loved far and near.
JPII! With him "guarding" this cathedral, there's nothing to fear.


Does this need explanation? In every nation
You can find a hint of the Irish sensation!


After all of the rain falling mainly in the plain!
Spring is here, bringing flowers again!


Alas for poor Momma, this place Heaven-sent
Cannot be enjoyed during a weekday in Lent!


Day drew to an end, and surrounded by friends
We went out for some Spanish sangria.
I proudly poured some all-round, for none prettier can be found
Than these American and Spanish Mamas mia!
