That time of year again, when a quick trip to Madrid is needed: officially to visit library and buy books and DVDs (work related I hasten to add), but the library now closes at 6 in the hot afternoon so plenty of time to window shop. I think these sandals would go with a toga?

All in the name of work? I want your job!! So nice to get a vicarious look at a vibrant European city, being as we are, stuck here in the sticks!
I feel it is the time of year where a trip to Madrid may be what I need ... but alas ... thanks for the vicarious travel option - I am now very hungry.
