Tomorrow, I am going to Toledo. It was the old capitol of spain. So, I am going to check it out- I don't want to get to tired of walking around madrid. I did realize today that I am not a fan of priceless art- or let's say some priceless art. I went through the Prado, and the book I am following said it should take about 3 hours, and I was finished in 30 minutes. I just didn't care about pictures of jesus and the other biblical stories- I am catholic, I colored those pictures in grade school. I am however a fan of modern art- with colors and craziness, that might be why I like the hirshorn (in DC) there is always something new there.
I also saw the prettiest park ever- sorry Colorado, this one had statues and fountains galour. Retiro Park is very large, and it really doesn't feel like you are in a city. That could be why living near it is $12,000 a month (yes, a month for an apartment). But, it sure is pretty.
I also went into Plaza Mayor today (again) for a schedule of the bus times to Toledo, and today must have been Time Square day- not kidding, there were all kinds of performers and street people. And then, there were random disney characters like mickey (2 actually) and winnie the pooh. Interesting, very interesting. I didn't get asked any directions today, but maybe in Toledo tomorrow, I will let you know.
