Since I am totally addicted to my "Crack"berry, I turn it on as soon as I wake up so the emails from over night (usually from the States) can start downloading. Well, imagine my surprise, when I saw an email from Go! Overseas letting me know that their editorial staff had selected my little blog as one of the top travel related blogs in Spain. They wrote, "[In] recognition of your outstanding writing skills, we are delighted to include your blog in a select list of websites representing Spain. We select only the most exceptional blogs that meet our exacting standards and we hope you feel a sense of pride for having been recognized for your efforts." Awe, shucks...They sent me a real "virtual" badge and everything!I am super excited to be included in the top 10 of all the sites they reviewed. Two of the blogs, "Ademas" and "A View of Madrid," are already of my blogroll, so congrats to them! I can't wait to check out the other blogs listed and I think you should too!

Hi Ashleigh, related to taking your Mom to Botin Restaurant, I think it is a great idea, she'll enjoy it. I wrote a post about it (I enclose you the link) and by the way, it is a nice place for me because my father worked there for 45 years until he got retired.
