Madrid

As you can see Derick and I pretended to be real Madrilenos and went to a bull fight. I don't know how I missed out on the fact that they actually kill the bulls right there in front of you!!! I cried! Aside from that the building was beautiful as were the costumes that the toreadors wore. I am obsessed with the Madrid Airport! The open air design is amazing, the signage is clean and clear and I love the use of color! It made for a very relaxing morning while waiting for our flight home. We stopped by the Soccer/Futball stadium before a game. As in Barcelona (and most of Europe!) soccer is HUGE here! The Real Jardin Botanico is right next to the Prado and the entrance fee was something like 2 Euros, so quite a bargain to wander around for an hour or two. The Prado! Thanks Derick for letting me get a little bit of an Art fix! We (or I...) enjoyed seeing paintings from all of the Spanish Greats: El Greco, Velasquez & Goya!
