Today was our first day in Madrid. We spent most of the day at the Prado museum. Full of over 3000 paintings it was big. Lots of Goya's paintings and they had an exibit with a bunch of Picasso's on loan. Both hometown boys to Spain. Chris is at another art gallery (I was arted out) the one Chris is at, Thyssen-bornesumthin' museum, is full of impressionist paintings. I came back to the hotel to check email and upload some pictures. Our hotel is kind of funny with some great extra's like a stereo with CD player which came in handy last night as Chris wanted to listen to Harry Potter and will again tonight (we may finish it after all.) It also has free mini bar which we quickly drained the water, fanta and coke (we left the beer) and they restock it for free everyday. The funniest feature though is we also have adjustable beds, yes the beds go up and down like hospital beds so we can sit up and watch TV. We are mostly glad to get free breakfast though as none of our other hotel's had breakfast so that's nice. Tonight we are going to go out and do a walking tour of Madrid. We will post some pictures too.
Enjoy.
