Last day in Madrid

After Services we had a picnic style Lunch in Park Retiro a 340-acre park in the middle of urban Madrid. There is a nice lake with a path around where we sat for a while and partook in some people watching. Also within the park is a Crystal Palace modeled after the one in London. It was closed when we got there but it is a glass-paneled building used as space for art exhibitions and other public shows. It was just a quick walk from the park to the Reina Sofia, Madrid’s modern art museum. Housing big names like Dali and Picasso the museum is made up of large white rooms and the entire structure surrounds a sculpture Garden. It’s big item is Picasso’s Guernica and they have an entire room displaying his preliminary sketches. Madrid has been great and now it’s time to move on to our final stop Lisbon, Portugal
