Spain - From JFK to Madrid - Just the beginning   RSS GeoLocation
Flying from New York to Madrid - these will be the beginning photos of my trip and I will try to identify them as I go along.

I took a lot of pics so I will be needing a bit of time to get them all in and I really want to put them in the order in which they were taken.

I hope you will enjoy some of what you see as I had the best time ever taking them.

It was a great vacation, the country is so beautiful and the people were really friendly. The foods delicious and the wine so smooth. Another thing, everywhere was so clean - no joke - very clean. Very impressive !

The people I traveled with were fun and we had many laughs along the way - I've made some friendships that will last for a long time.
