Postcard From Spain



Damian and I have been in Madrid the past few days, before being joined by three of his four sisters. It’s my first time in Spain and I am enjoying everything about it so far. Today we took a day trip sans one sleepy sister to the Aqueduct of Segovia, a Roman aqueduct built around the first century AD. (Spectacular doesn’t even begin to describe it!) Ditto for the men here, as you can see for yourself in some of the photos below!









Stopped by by Museo Chicote, a wonderful cocktail bar Ernest Hemingway frequented in the 1930s, when it was popular with international journalists.



Love that Debi Mazar stars in joint’s ad campaigns!



Site of my first Negroni















And then there’s the gay nightlife. Would it kill NYC to have hot shirtless bartenders and play decent music? 😎



Tomorrow we head to Granada to see even Moor historical sights, including the Alhambra. Will post more soon! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Enjoy! Spain is easily one of our favoritest countries in the world. Beautiful, comfortable, and yes, the men are easy on the eyes. Have an awesome time!
