El Prado

I went to the Prado today with my house mate.  It was amazing.  So many paintings from different time periods and artists.  It was amazing to see paintings that I have seen in textbooks in real life.  That's pretty much all I accomplished today.  However, I have a small list of other things I can check off.

-  accidentally get lost in a busy round-a-bout (kinda like an intersection) with no crosswalks - check

-  get honked at by the Spanish police for being lost in the round-a-bout - check

-  see a Mad Hatter having tea on the side-walk outside the Prado - check

-  see a couple sucking face on the street with no one paying any mind (PDA is acceptable here and hard to get used to)  - check

-  discuss the problems of the world with host mom for 1 1/2 (in Spanish) - check

Pictures are not allowed in the Prado, so please enjoy the few others I took.  Thanks for reading.  :)

Pretty Cathedral next to El Prado 

 There is a huge section like this down the middle of the main tourist area in Madrid.  It's so beautiful and shady.  There are more places like this in Madrid as well.
