Taking a Break

As Madrid bakes in the heat of August, the rest of the city decides that it's a good time to take vacations. Shops close down. Less and less people roam the streets. The last two weeks of August in the capital city make it seem eerily apocalyptic, somewhere between Hitchcock and a Twilight Zone movie. The desertion of Madrid only makes me more excited for my upcoming "make me legal" visit to London this weekend.
