Coffee, Art and Parks

 It’s hot here but I can do everything at my own pace saw Picasso’s Gernica at Museo Nacional Reina Sofia then after coffee spent the day around the Parque del Buen Retiro.




The concert tonight is a mismatch getting there  via the metro, so I am going my taxi and will return via tube.
I haven’t felt hungry but I had some wonderful tasting ( but terrible looking) Patatas Bravas in a cafe overlooking the Alfonso XII monument a late tea, and several chouros for breakfast

    They really know how to do street life in Spain! All you need is a churro to go with that coffee.

      You can indeed stop them in the street but as a solo traveller I wouldn't do that. You're fortunate you came home with both of your kidneys!

  13. So glad you are enjoying yourself (and posting)!

    Sweaty, diggy, annoying home labor here today. My guy went to get paint (to delineate where I get to dig). While he's gone, I came in and fixed the stupid printer. Taking a little extra time to cool off and was happy to see your post. Enjoy your trip!!
