Today was our last day in Madrid. We survived our first laundry expedition with our little washer in our apartment. We have heard many "laundry abroad" horror stories so we were quite anxious and attentive.
We also had to run a few errands -such as visiting a printing store to print out our bus tickets. This was an interesting experience as both of us know little Spanish but we were able to utter, "imprintir" to the woman at the printing desk- who kindly hooked us up.
We decided to have an early dinner out and had two cokes, steak, and croquettes. Ben was pleased.
After finishing both equally important missions, we visited the modern art museum, Museo Reina Sofia. Out of Ben's own special request (and part of his spiritual journey), we saw the "Guernica"- a piece by Picasso that showcases the gloomy aftermath of the Civil War. I wish we had taken pictures of the piece- but I am not Ben and I do not wish to be tazed by two museum guards. However we do have these two lovely pieces to share:
Once we had our modern art fix (which doesn't take much for us), we decided to head to our neighborhood mercado for the last time and pick up some treats for tomorrow's lonnggggggg bus ride.
We are all packed up, showered, and our little casa is clean. We wake up in six hours for our seven hour trek to Barcelona and look forward to telling you about tomorrow's journey! We can't handle the suspense.
