Madrid Day 5: It's just art

Due to our broken down internet, we resorted to using the WI-FI over at out new high society hang out. We noticed that every time we passed the café, their only appeared to be aristocrats with their noses hoisted into the air. Once inside we did experience the biggest sugar rushes of all time from their extra nice ice cream and café. We later fell victim to their even nicer prices. Youch! Let’s hope they fix our DSL at this apartment soon. This morning was a bit cloudy, which made a perfect day for the Prado museum. I do enjoy art museums. Kim likes them if they are sandwiched in between cereal breaks. So, she was a good enough sport to allow me to spend 4+ hrs there. They had unbelievable works of art. From sandstone busts of Zeus & Hercles to 8 foot statues of Augustus Ceasar, they had great works from Raphael, Goya, & Valasquez. For those of you who care nothing about art, I’ll just sum it up by saying that most of the famous paintings you’ve ever seen were in the building…enough said. It was really cool to see just how many great painters depicted Jesus in several of their art works. And, for those of you wondering why the heck Goya painted some guy eating a mini person, I now have the answer. Oh ya, they did have a cafeteria, which meant that I put my second best talent, eating, to good use. So that sums up the sum up, and caps off another great day in Madrid. We did download the second season of the office, and buy more coffee for the house which means good times. I also found out that apparently Ham flavored chips are preferred here. They drink Pepsi’s by the liter. How amazing is that? This is truly the place for me. I’ve seen several UPS trucks which means they need engineers which means, I’m getting a transfer. Sign for the day: “Beware of the many alien abductions that occur at cross-walks.”
