Madrid Tuesday Tuesday

On Tuesday we took the guided tour of the Palacio Real. It was incredibly beautiful inside. Oh, Royalty.

A panoramic I took from the outside.

Afterwards we went to the Museo Del Prado, a classic art museum. It was EXPANSIVE. I mean, I know that almost all classic art museums are part maze and part endurance excercise but this was immense. The time we were there and I don't think we saw even half of it.

But we did see a lot. A lot of Goya, Sorolla, Velasquez, Rubens, Carvaggio, and more than I can even remember. This museum was a lot more breathtaking and familiar.

I didn't take any pictures of the paintings half because I was afraid I wasn't allowed to and half out of exhaustion. Here's the hallway as we were leaving.

Here are pictures of a walkway near the park and the museum. There are stalls all along it that sell used books manned by old men in hats.

Then we got all gussied up to go to a jazz nightclub where the Bob Sands Big Band was playing.
