La Noche en Blanco Madrid September 2008

La Noche en Blanco
A night when the city does not sleep.
All museums, theaters, galleries and important buildings and monument of Madrid are open all night and they are free. Lots of performances and installations throughout the city attract thousands of people. This year we had one and a half million people flooding the streets of Madrid and the atmosphere was magical.
Not having any traffic makes such a difference.......there is another view of the buildings, gardens, fountains and the feel of the city is unique.
I want more!.

Madrid September 2008

It is so easy to take all this for granted. Such a variety of environments so close to home.
That´s why I love having friends from Australia coming over to visit...I love the look on their faces when I take them for a walk around the "hood".
It reminds me of how I felt when I first came to Madrid.

I have been considering going back to Melbourne...... it will be so hard to leave all this..the history, the people, the sun!!
What I need and what I want......
