Travel for most of us will be restricted to some degree, whether directed by mandatory quarantines or simply by our own caution. Our borders are about to open, and we&#8217;ve just booked tickets for S to visit a friend in Belgium next Friday. But we won&#8217;t be returning to the States this year the way we usually do. Instead we&#8217;re thinking about trips closer to home, maybe to the north of Spain or to France or Italy. Our own neighborhood here in the center of Madrid is still surprisingly quiet and devoid of tourists. In fact, we went to a restaurant for the first time in four months the other day and we were the only people there!<\/p>\n<p>S has been taking terrific photos of Madrid recently, so here are two recent shots to feed your wanderlust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75358 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid-760x460.jpg\" alt=\"Madrid photos take by S\" width=\"760\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid-760x460.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid-500x302.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid-768x465.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/s-madrid-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve let her colors inspire this week&#8217;s Pinterest Picks, too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is a cinnabar-colored <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/camp-shirt-dress-sewing-pattern.html\">Camp Shirt<\/a> destined for your closet this summer?
