you last heard from me in june, when i was about to leave with my girlfriend, the indominatable mlle. laine, for europe. six weeks, seven destinations, eleven plane rides: we're back. it wasn't quite a whirlwind tour, since we had about a week to soak up each place, except for lisbon.
i am preparing ten threads that i will post in august and september. this is the fourth.
KILGORE IN EUROPE :: Photo Schedule
01 -- LONDON (Part One)
02 -- PARIS (Part One)
03 -- ROME
04 -- MADRID (Part One)
05 -- PARIS (Part Two)
06 -- LISBON
07 -- MADRID (Part Two)
09 -- PARIS (Part Three)
10 -- LONDON (Part Two)
the photos in this series were taken by myself, except for those taken by mlle. laine, which are noted.
MADRID
(part one)
madrid was the most memorable city on our trip. both laine and i felt more comfortable there than in any other city, despite neither of us speaking any spanish. (luckily, i found it easy enough to pick up and was at least able to order food. it helped that most madrileños were eager to converse in spanish, whether i understood or not.) a friend who recently returned from madrid put it very simply: "if paris is effortlessly beautiful, madrid is effortlessly alive." yes, madrid is a city that sleeps -- during the afternoon. otherwise, it is one of the most convivial cities i have visited. it doesn't hurt that time spent in madrid makes you feel like a character in an almodóvar film.
