So, I was reunited with my mommy in Madrid, and it was awesome.
Madrid is beautiful and so, well, big. Its spaciousness reminded me of Lisbon, Portugal. Looming neoclassical buildings in light airy blues, rich browns, opening into plazas filled, and I mean FILLED, with people. Little arches opening up into huge spaces, sculptures of Spanish royalty, on horseback, towering over the crowd.
I definitely did not go to any museums, but I will. The Prado, the Reina Sofia, and the Thyss.... Something Gallery are all world famous (although clearly not famous enough for me to remember the name of one, hehe.) It will be nice to visit the museums with someone who, really, taught me to love art, who dragged me through galleries as a kid, who left art books out in the house for me to page through as I slowly grew up, who put the crayon in my right hand (which I would then promptly put in my left hand, my inner southpaw undenialable at even a young age).
Madrid, is, well, European City, exemplified. It has a little less difinitve personality than London, or Amsterdam, or Rome, but it is beautiful and grand nontheless.

I am not jealous about those museums. I am jealous about fun you are having. I want to have it with you. You are really the great company not only for fun, but having fun with you it is certainly wonderful.
Love you. Lena

Hey zaika
I am back in Chicago, and it's winter here - the real one - with buried-under-snow and ice-crusted cars and frozen hands and feet etc.
How are you there? I miss you already - a lot!!! Started my count down to your coming home. Told papa about all these food items we have to purchase and prepare by the 18th.
Can't wait to see you, and just for all of us to be reunited as a family - at least for a week. I really had a wonderful time with you in Spain, and your knowing Spain and Spanish made it really special for me (I know, I know - my choice of words :)).
Tried to call you unsuccessfully. What's going on with your phone?
Love you so much!!!!!
