Statues in Madrid, Spain

Elijah has a thing for winged statues.  He knew he had to get a photo of himself with this sculpture that sat atop a building in Madrid.

Puerta del Sol, Madrid, Spain

Near the Puerta del Sol, Elijah saw the famous symbol of Madrid – the bear and the tree.  Never one just to see something without understanding, Elijah did a quick Google search to learn about the symbol.  If you want to learn more, you will too!

Streets of Madrid, Spain

Elijah happened upon this building in Madrid as he roamed its streets.  Rick Steves has nothing on Elijah.  Elijah has been roaming around Europe for generations.

Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, Madrid, Spain

Looking over the city of Madrid, Elijah could see in the distance the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas.  Not so hot with languages, Elijah pulled out his trusty dictionary and realized he was looking at the bull fighting ring.  He decided he’d rather see it from far away.

Krakow, Poland

Once in a city, Elijah liked to roam about the streets.  He did so here in Krakow, getting lost more than once.

Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland

Caught in a rain storm, Elijah took shelter in the courtyard of Jagiellonian University, where Nicolaus Copernicus matriculated.

Main Market Square, Krakow, Poland

Seeing a hot air balloon in Krakow, several people began to think that it was Elijah’s mode of transportation.

Amman, Jordan

Elijah liked to collect spoons from the different places he had been, so he felt that the best place to get one in Jordan was in the capital, Amman.  He stopped there for a quick visit.

Brugge, Belgium

Peering into the window of a home in Brugge, Elijah was thinking about giving up wine and having chocolate instead.  He had heard that the chocolates of Brugge are “to die for.”

Brighton, England

Elijah found the spires of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton quite a challenge to navigate.
