Spain '11

We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Europe for Geoff's work.  We left for Madrid, Spain on May 21 and arrived on May 22.  We hit the road running by visiting a Cathedral next to the Prado Museum, then touring the museum itself.  Some of the most famous paintings in the world are located here.


This is the front of the Prado.


 We also visited the Plaza Mayor and people watched.

 We briefly visited the Parque de Retiro which is like Central Park for Spain.
