So Teddy and I mastered the Madrid Metro (subway) today. And we didn't get LOST or mugged! We went to Plaza Mayor for some shopping and Teddy purchased some sweet Aladdin pants! We wandered in and out of a hundred stores. Then we took the Metro again to the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia museum of modern art. Saw lots of Salvadore Dali and Picasso works. The highlight is a 3.5 x 7.5 meter giant painting by Picasso called "Guernica". It is an eloquent symbol of the worlds outrage at the horrors wrought upon the innocent by modern warfare. Picasso's anger was evident in this painting...all in blacks and grays. We feel thoroughly "cultured". We also think that we could have scribbled with a crayon on a crumpled piece of paper and done better than some of the "modern art" we saw....some weird stuff.
