Madrid






These are all Madrid after dark.  The Christmas tree in the bottom photo is metal and glass with lights in the middle.  Pretty neat.  It's in the Plaza del Sol, about a block from our hotel.  We were within a mile of the Palacio Real, Cathedral, Plaza Mayor, Prado -- we just walked around town.  These pictures are Christmas Eve.  We went to the Prado Christmas Eve, but the other two museums I wanted to go to were closed, so I guess we have to go back.  I wanted to see the Picasso painting "Guernica" and also the Thyssen museum which has a lot of modern art.  Maybe our next trip.  Spain didn't seem to be as expensive as Italy,  at least for food and lodging.
