Day 6: Prado and more

Another day in Madrid, Spain and my gang and I went to the Prado Museum, one of the most Famous museums of the world. At first I was skepitical because I myself isn't to fond of museums. As we finally walked in from the long line of tourist we automatically knew that this wasn't any ordinarily art museum. As we walked the hallways fulled with exquisite pieces, we came across a section with religious pieces. Many of the pieces were from the 1400´s -1800´s which portrayed Jesus Christ thought out his life. They told stories about his birth, his cruxification, and his rising. Later, we walked to the Goya exhibit where we had the opportunity to see El 3 de mayo. This piece was produced in 1808 by Goya himself and depicts the killings of innocent Spanards by the French army. The French were threatened beacuse of weapons that the Spanish never had which resulted in mass executions.

Today, Carolina and I finally had the amazeing oppertunity of trying the delicious Churros y Chocolate. If you ever come to Spain this is one thing you do not want to pass up. It was great! the chocolate was a warm pudding like drink and was served with a side of churros. We sat and ate our churros in a little cafe (a local hang out) in Plaza de Sol. Auntie Lynda, it was amazeing!!
