Biking in Madrid

We're starting to get used to the Madrid lifestyle but we are still going to bed at 1:00 instead of 4 or 6 am. At least we can eat at a normal time (11:00 pm). We ate at a nice traditional Spanish restaurant with Martha and Philip and then walked around the La Latina barrio. We then got up late and Marc went for a run in Retiro Park. We then went to the hotel where Myron and Kari (Stephanie's Parents) had just arrived. We then let them adjust to their jet lag and we went off to rent bikes. We rented from a company "27bikes" that advertised a self guided biking tour through three parks. Two of the parks weren't very well known but it was good to bike around and get some exercise. Retiro Park by bike is a great way to explore since it is so big. On the way back we found a very nice bike store. We started salivating over what to buy for our bikes in Morocco. We will be back before we leave Madrid!
