A morning visit to the airport to drop off Rebecca, and then we returned to the city. Today the museums of Madrid were calling: El Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemiszma. But first, a walk through the Parque de Retiro was in order. Dennis and Holly took full advantage of the gorgeous fall day while waiting for Marissa to join them, and then they went museum-ing. Being more modern art than classical art fans, they found the Thyssen more to their liking, although had plenty of kind words for El Prado as well. The evening was a nice, relaxed and very typical Madrid meal, with some wonderful fish (Dennis said it was the some of the best monkfish he had ever tasted) and the very typically Spanish Pimientos de Padron, although on this occasion we were lucky (or not, depending on your point of view) to not get any really spicy ones.
Up next: Toledo and a visit to the oldest restaurant in the world!
