APARTMENT UPDATE!
... still in progress...
But looking for pisos has helped us meet some more people in the city. We looked at a room in a house of Italians, and then we were invited there for a dinner party the next night. They made a delicious dinner of pasta and shrimps and after a long evening of chatting and cards we ended the night with some more pasta! Que Rico!!
We woke up late the next day and hurried to pack our bags and catch a bus to Madrid. As always, we got here a little late, but easily found our way to the hotel and to our group. We joined for the last half of a quick meeting and then went out to a nice dinner in the city.
Despite the fact that as a vegetarian I cannot really eat any Spanish food here, Madrid has been a much more accomadating city to that fact. We've had delicious salads and lots of cheese and fruits so far... and of course mas pan!
Exhausted once again we went to sleep early last night for another busy day. We had breakfast at the hotel and then off to el Museo Prado. We enjoyed a guided tour for an hour, seeing the works of el Greco, Velazquez, y Goya. We took a break after the tour and then with Emily as my art guide, we made our way around the museum to see Rubens, Tiziano, Rafael and others.
It is time for a quick siesta before we head off to the Palacio Royal and then more free time to explore the city tonight, maybe some churros y chocolate? yumm
Hasta Luego!
