On our way to the wedding we (Pat, Bill, and Stacy) visited the Royal Palace and Gardens in Arunjuez. The structure is impressive, the decor on the interior elaborate, (including a number of clocks), ...
We arrived in Toledo, a lovely hilltop city, enhanced at the time by the extensive decorations for Corpus Christi, a major religious festival here.The buildings were draped with banners We connected with Kim (mother of the bride) and explored town in our spare time,
Pat caught Bill and the girls (Michelle-the bride, Kristin & Hanna = Michelle's twin sisters) at the wedding welcome dinner the night before. The wedding itself was stunning with all the fancy dress and a outstanding gourmet dinner for 200! Notice that the bottom right photo below was taken at 9:15 and it's still daylight.
After a very late night (early morning... we left the wedding around 2:30am, others stayed til 5am or later) we headed back to Madrid around noon with Stacy, Kim & Hanna (sister of the bride) for a last night out. We dined and wined before they headed for home.
Pat & Bill had an extra day and used it for another visit to Casa Lucas Tapas Bar where we had dined in 2001 and 2002 with our friends Peter & Peggi. It still has great small plates and fine wine.
Next morning we were on our flight to Boston to visit friends and family around New England.
