Escorted to El Escorial

First of all I would like to thank the thousands of get well messages, cards and flowers I have received regarding the well being of my toe

and I would like to add it is improving every day.

Breakfast is churros dipped a cup of molten chocolate and an omlette

So today we are to visit El Escorial, the former palace and monastery dedicated to saint Lawrence, the patron saint of barbecues

After the tour we chill with a pleasant lunch

Dinner tonight is at the aptly named Divina de Goya
