Eventful day today - it was an unscheduled day that we scheduled. We started with going to the Reina Sopia Museum which is free on Sundays and right next to our hotel. We saw paintings by Miro, Dali and Picasso - and the famous Guernica.....which was incredible!
From there we went to the train station where some of the photos from Zach's blog come from - they have a tropical rainforest in the train station - and we were able to take pictures of the bullet train. (Unfortunately we are not taking that to get to Paris - but more about that later).
Headed to lunch where we had traditional Paella - and then we broke into smaller groups and walked around center town - shopping, watching the street performers and sitting in the cafes drinking coffee.
Dinner was at the Museum of Ham -but ironically we had chicken...which was good and then we headed back to the hotel by 9pm. Early night tonight because we started our day at 9am and didn't stop until 9pm AND because the next 48 hours could be a little "rough".......
We are leaving for Toledo tour early in the morning - then wrapping up here in Madrid to take our train which leaves at 7pm and arrives in Paris at 8:30am......what could be more exciting than spending 13 hours on a train? It should be great. Then we arrive in Paris and spend the day touring bc we cannot check into our hotel until dinner time. SO - we will be out of reach until Tuesday night.
