" 7 Days Of Madrid" - Day 5

On the 5th Day we took a taxi to Palacio Real De Madrid, because "Siena wanted to meet the Spanish Princess" :-))))) Of course now a day The palace is only used for state ceremonies as the Royal Family lives in Palacio de la Zarzuela on the outskirts of Madrid.

There was no photography allowed inside the palace, so this picture of the "Throne Room" is from internet:

After touring the palace we proceeded to it's beautiful garden, Jardines del Palacio Real where we ran into a local celebrity and I should say personality, Carmen Diaz and her two fabulous rescue chihuahuas, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader x-D. I first noticed Annakins fabulous ensamble, it's custom made outfit. That, and the fact that it is on her contract that she is allowed to bring her dogs to work,  is all I needed to know about Carmen to like her immediately.
She gave us the whole story about the dogs and how she named them (a Spanish Star Wars enthusiastic), and how she organized the  Madrid premier for "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". This is on a video tape which I hope to post soon. Dave promised her to send this video to George Lucas's staff (he knows some of the staff members). I believe meeting this Trio was the highlight for us all that day. What a charming lady. We chatted at least for an hour.

As for dinner, we had some Tapas at a lovely Midnight Rose Restaurant located inside the ME Hotel
