Arrived @ 130 am home time - was 730 am here. 6 hour time difference. Turned out to be a beautiful day. Went to the hotel,(that's a funny story) dropped off our bags, got a double shot of espresso and headed to a museum - the Renia Sofia. Lots of Dali and Picasso's famous Guerneka painting. Its a creepy big old hospital turned into a museum - that in itself is an exhibit. Wasting no time and working on 2 hrs sleep! Its 3 pm here so its siesta time now. Will nappie a few hours, shower and hit the town for some traditional grub and wine. So many little places to grab a tapas, wine and move on to the next and hopefully find our way back to the hotel. And also hopefully keep J awake and upright on the bar stools since dinner generally does not get going till after 10 pm.
Tomorrow we plan to hit the Prado museum early.
Hotel funny story - its on a tiny cobblestone side street where 1 car can barley get down. Most of the side streets are like that - intertwined like a maze. The hotel or hostal is on the 3rd floor of an old building. The elevator is this tinky thing that looks like a phone booth, 2 gated doors and its 'open' shafted. Something out of a 1920 horror movie and incredibly small. J would not get in it! I did, was not schleping bags 3 flights of stairs!! He did eventually get in it with me - we could both barley fit and he had to crouch the whole time.
Our room is very clean but very small. About the size of a sm bedroom. Double bed. 1 giant long pillow. J's feet are handing off the bottom-lol.
Enough for now - I'm deliriously tired....
