Perhaps I should have done this before...oh well, such is life. We travel to Madrid (via Paris) next week Saturday. Although, we are very excited it requires a lot of work. You see, we exchange houses when we travel. I like to think of it as exchanging lives for a month as well. But first things first, since we exchange houses, this year a family from Spain is coming to stay at our place. This in turns means we have to leave our house "presentable." One can argue that is a drawback to exchanging but on the positive side, it makes us do things around the house we normally don't have the time to do.
OK. so back to why I feel we exchange lives...as opposed to the regular tourist experience, we are placed in a regular neighborhood. We get to meet some of the neighbors and interact with them. We also get to shop at the local supermarkets and open air markets (which we love).
This year we will be in Spain and Portugal so I will be posting regularly to keep you posted about our "adventures."
