It was a warm day, but still a delightful walk through the park and botanical gardens in the large park in Central Madrid. There is plenty of shade and things to see, In the middle of the park near the exit that goes out into the downtown, a lake presents itself. Surrounded by cafes and food and art stalls, the lake gives the young and not-so-young a place to row a small boat. This is an oasis in Madrid.
We had a couple take our photo in front of the lake and we took theirs'. The street performers were fun. We sort of hung around until time for tapas and adult beverages. Then it was off to the hotel.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
