Trip Day 36 – Wednesday, August 15 – Madrid, Spain

The Prado

What I LIKE

  • big puffy white clouds bring cool breeze in the 70’s
  • not as hot as last week – over 100 + then
  • 10:15 – Prado Museum – the greatest painting museum in the  world – features more than just Spanish artists
  • 12:30 lunch @ Mexican restaurant on Calle Ventura de la Vega
  • chips with 3 kinds of sauces, pico de gallo, nachos with real guacamole & Plato Pastor – pork dish roasted with spices – YUMMY!
  • 5:15 – massage @ Fusiom – 3 blocks from hotel – Thai & Indonesian
  • so cool out I have to put on long pants & a jacket
  • 8 pm head out for dinner on Plaza Mayor @ Los Gallos

Plaza Mayor Entertainers

  • brimming with tons of people, mimes & entertainers
  • order spinach salad with pine nuts, tomato, & prosciutto – asparagus with aioli (still full from big lunch) – nice red wine

    Plaza Mayor

  • one of the best waiters we’ve had do far!

What I DIDN”T LIKE

  • it’s a holiday so Starbuck’s doesn’t open until 8 am

FF (FUN-fact) – Bread at Spain eateries is like baggage at the airport. It will cost you!
