My friend Steve was desperately trying to check out the Christmas lights around Madrid this week. He had heard about a bus you could take around the city to see all the holiday decorations that only cost one euro! After a few false starts with other people, I got to be the lucky person to accompany him tonight. As we froze our butts off on top of an open air bus, we saw the following:
I realize that these pictures look as if they were taken from the point of view of a person coming home after a long night filled with Holiday parties (if you know what I mean, *hic*), but it's really just me and my shaking, cold hands and the bumpy ride.
Or I'm a really poor photographer (don't answer that :-).
Supposedly, Madrid has cut down on it's decorations and lights this year because of the economic crisis in the country but, regardless, the unique perspective of seeing Madrid from up high and the company made it a lot of fun. Thanks for the great idea, Steve!

Hi Nina,
Got your link from a message that you sent me (madridchicas) about the dining club I organize. Would love it if you could send me the info on the Christmas bus tour in Madrid. Thanks!
Thank you for the tour. Nina, you look cute in that picture. It's a keeper.
Hope you had a nice Christmas! It certainly looks like you did.
Happy New Year!
