7 August 2013: Stansted, England to Madrid, Spain

WEDNESDAY
It is 12:23am and a guy is asleep on a luggage conveyor belt at Stansted Airport.
2:13am: people sleeping and lounging around on the floor as all the seats are taken. 6:01am: the sunrising in the sky.
The line to check-in. Attendants checking tickets before boarding the plane.
Walking to the plane.
Flying over Stansted, England. Flying over northern Spain.
Spain is dry.
A view of the busy baggage claim area. After passing through passport control seamlessly I walk out.
My friends greet me at the airport and we walk through the parking lot to find the car. A few skyscrapers of Madrid visible from the freeway.
Walking around Majadahonda, a northwest suburb of Madrid.
Banner protesting the noise disturbance of terrace bars.
Taste of America, an American supermarket.
Driving into Madrid.
View from the car. Reflection on a bus. 
Jardines del Buen Retinos.
Alfredo's Barbacoa Bar-Restaurant, American cuisine restaurant for dinner.
