Madrid or Grenoble

This is Grenoble http://www.ville-grenoble.fr/grenoble/html/photos.html A more beautiful place I have not seen. "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

I always found the center of Madrid hot dusty and smelling of fumes. (Maybe its changed) The only downside to Grenoble is its location I guess. (France) But they do have a rugby team so that is a redeeming feature I guess. Regardz Colin J Davies

I'm guessing the concept of a 2 hour movie showing two guys eating a meal and talking struck them as 'foreign' Rob Manderson wrote:

I have never been to Grenoble, but I can asure you that Spain is great (Well, maybe my opinion is a little biased but...). Besides, is you already know Grenoble, you should try a new place. And you won´t have any special problem with your dogs, as long as you have all the papers and vaccines. Silver at last!!

There is no place like home ;) My wife and I love to travel and see new places. The only downside is that if this goes through we may have to change our vacation plans to visit the Yucatan.
