Mas vino por favor!

Day 4 - 1/7


We went to the Reina Sofia and saw works by many famous contemporary artists. We saw the Guernica by Pablo Picasso. It was huge and took up the whole wall. We also saw art by Salvador Dali. This ws cool because we have studied many contemporary artists in my spanish classes.

 Then we went to El Museo de Prado and saw works by El Greco, Rafael, Francisco de Goya and others. It was interesting but it wasn’t a guided door and was a huge museum with a lot of works by artists we had no studied so it was cool to say I’d been there but not my favorite.


Then a few of us went to El Jardin de Retiro. There was a couple lakes in the middle. One was huge with people paddle boating through it. There were a lot of cats and peacocks running around. It was very pretty but would be better in the spring when all the flowers are blooming and it isn’t so brown. But we saw a bunch of roses blooming around a fountain. 

We then went to La Mazarina for dinner. It was really really good. We had a few different types of tapas to start and a huge steak and some different postres for dessert, including cheesecake. And unlimited wine because our guide Bruce is a friend of the owner. Everyone was having a pretty good time. I also tried their coca cola for the first time. It is made with real sugar and tastes different, pretty good!
