Madrid is known for its amazing art museums and on Friday we went to its main attraction, the Prado Museum. It was stunning to see original Velazquez and Goya paintings in person. We also ran into out SFSU colleague, Ed Connor and his family there! What a small world!
Kaia wanted to touch everything, ack! We had to explain the meaning of the word ‘priceless’ to her. I’m not sure she got it. But we managed to not break anything. Whew! Jett loved the artwork and recognized the similarities between the biblical scenes depicted and Greek mythology, hmmm. We will have to go back many more times to take it all in.
Saturday was our friend, Iñigo’s birthday so he invited us to his mom’s house in Miraflores, a village just outside of Madrid. We had a full three course Spanish lunch which was a surprise to the kids when they got a hamburger after their first course of pasta! And then cake! She has a pool! It was paradise!
