Our day begins with
eggs (with black pepper) and drip filtered coffee, before walking 15
minutes to the Prado Museum. We think that maybe every painting by Goya
resides here, including the “black” ones. There are some
Raphael’s, surprisingly a couple of David Roberts and even more
surprising, no Picasso’s!!!!!!! We had arranged a visit inside the
Royal Palace on line for 2:00pm, so have to leave the museum after
only a few hours. Interesting that the usual online sites didn’t
have any tickets for today, but the Palace site did. The interior is
fancy and has some great historical documents including the
abdication of King Juan Carlos. For fancy imagine a porcelain
covered wall. We also check out the throne room as opposed to a throne room. Later in the day we
find a largish supermarket with the best fresa (sorry, strawberries)
ever and they go very well with yoghurt but less so with radlers.
