Madrid is quite nice I have to say! BTW, whatever comment I had made about the cool temperatures, that only holds in the morning. Once afternoon comes around the temps are scorching! As a result, yesterday was spent mostly in museums: The Museo del Prada (lots of paintings, most notably one called "San Bernado y la virgen", which had me double-take once I realized the painting wasn't scratched), and the archaeological museum. After that I spent the evening watching the abysmal Germany-Japan game in an Irish bar. I guess one of the benefits of being a dual citizen is that I can shamelessly root for the US now. Go USA! Today's game against Brazil was really excellent, and well-deserved.
Well, now for some pictures:
Til next time! Next stop is Barcelona.

Isn't the hot part of the day what the siesta is for? Wish we could have siestas back here in Boston (curse you, Puritans!) Don't O.D. on all that Jesus art -- after too many paintings of saints in their martyrdom I start to get a little nauseated.
