Things I Did in Madrid

SARAJEVO: This is kind of like my own travel diary/memoirs, so that explains why I'm going to the effort to update things I did three weeks ago. So, from memory...

Madrid: visited the Reina Sofia and was impressed by Guernica and the Germans again; visited the Prado and was struck by how many of the Velazquezs were used in the National Gallery show and also the disparity between the two strands of Goya paintings and finally at how awesome Bosch is; visited the Thyssen-Bornemisza gallery and enjoyed being impressed by pictures I'd barely look twice at in another gallery.

And for stuff that wasn't art galleries, walked through the Retiro, but it started to rain; visited the Don Quixote statue; lunched on cheese and ham in a scuplture garden; drank at a wicked bar with an awesome soundtrack and jihad action figues in the window; drank at some more bars; did laundary; moved hostels; walked in on and then yelled at two naked Swedish girls having a shower in our dorm room at three in the morning.
