Wow, what a trip. It’s 8 am here; we’re getting ready to head to the airport for our flight to NYC. Yesterday was a whirlwind of museums in Madrid, sprinkled with strolling the city streets…
I don’t have many photos from yesterday, but I did snap some nice shots of the countryside as we zoomed along on the train. I like the one with the wind turbines; we’ve seen those a lot over here!
After dropping off our bags at the hotel, we headed for the Prado, where we spent the next two and a half hours seeing masterpieces by Velasquez, Goya, El Greco, Ruebens, Bosch, etc.
Then it was off to the Museo Reina Sofia, which is focused on modern art (much more to my liking ;-). They had an incredible Dali show, and are also the current home of Picasso’s Guernica.
One last highlight from Madrid was this splendid wall of plants! I’m not sure if this installation has a name or not, but it sure is cool! That tiny person at the bottom is me…
And so our trip to Spain draws to a close. We had a magnificent time, full of so many adventures. We’re already planning our return!
Now it’s time for the long flight to NYC. Talk to you from there, later today your time!!
