In 2006, I traveled to Spain with my godmother, Anita. We took a stroll through Madrid one evening, eating truffles, window-shopping, being lazy. And we saw this statue of Don Quixote on his steed, Rocinante, and with his buddy/man-servant, Sancho Panza. That goofy el ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha! Maybe he's getting ready to visit Dulcinea or tilt at windmills? Either way, it was lovely to sit in this Plaza, watch children climb all over this statue, and marvel that I am from the same heritage as Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
