William at the Palacio Real
Today we left for Madrid so we could go to the Palacio Real and Museo Del Prado. Neither place allowed photos to be taken inside. (Why did I bring my camera?). The palace was nice and my favorite part was the armory (swords and armor; boy stuff). There were a couple of paintings by GOYA there and the rooms were very ornate. After I was good and chafed we walked several blocks to a plaza near the museum that we were to visit next. (Museo Del Prado). We ate lunch in the plaza around 1400 hrs and I kept a blue glass water bottle. After lunch we went to the museum were we walked a lot more and I saw paintings by famous artist like: Rapheal, Titian, El Greco, Goya and Velazquez. This was a mind blowing experience, to be standing next to all the paintings that I had to memorize in art history classes. I got caught taking pictures in the museum and thankfully I didn't get kicked out. The paintings were a lot better in real life and a lot bigger. We are back in Toledo and getting ready for dinner.
