Day 4 - Museos

So I know... my days are off on here. Oh well. I will figure it out later. SO anyways. On the 18th I went to the famous museum here: El Prado. It was cool. I got to see some stuff by El Greco, Goya and others. Obviously I don´t remember too much. It was neat to look at all the paintings. They did have an exhibit: Entre Dios y Hombres...there were many sculptures. Those always fascinate me because of all the details. Lets see what else...not much there it was just really big. Next I went to the garden next door. I can see how it would be gorgeous with the flowers blooming.

The final stop was this Museum de Reina Sofia. This had a lot of modern stuff. Some I wonder how it is art...you know what I am talking about. My preschoolers could have done it. SO anyways. I did see Picasso...let me tell you-Im not such a fan. I wish I was but I just couldn´t get into it. Salvador Dali on the other hand...he´s the man. I really liked his stuff.

After that I walked home... each way was about half an hour. Let me tell you...when there is a destination in mind and things to see...The time goes way faster...for me anyhow.

I have been observing a lot about Madrid. I like that its an old city...the buildings are old, there is so much history but it is changing everyday. It´s also very clean. There are tons of people just sweeping and cleaning the sidewalks...there are a lot of smokers so lots of butts to clean up. Also, there are police officers everywhere... Mom, you can tell that to Grandma. On horses, motorcycles, foot and car. It´s really amazing.

At night I wandered on the main drags everywhere. I must have walked for two hours. It was so much fun. There are Christmas lights up and each barrio has its own design, etc.
