No Fotos Permitidos

The food schedule here was made for me:

8-9am: breakfast
11ish: 2nd breakfast
2-4pm: lunch, followed by siesta
6ish: merienda--a light snack
8-10pm: dinner

Except that today I neglected my merienda amidst all the exploring we did, so we are 30 minutes from dinner and I might not survive.

Today many hours were spent with my group at the museums Reina Sofia and Del Prado.  Our tour guide was amazing and told us a lot of the background behind the paintings of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Francisco Goya, and um...other Spanish artists.  No photographs were allowed in most of the exhibits, but Guernica is at Reina Sofia, along with a lot of other famous paintings.  It was so cool to see these works of art in person that I have studied about in the past!

^ My roommate Sarah and I being SUPERTURISTAS at Reina Sofia.  We got headphones to listen to our guide's microphone during the tour.  We've already been voted "Most Likely To Fit In Like Real Spaniards."

    Chloe is reading a book about Picasso in school! What a coincidence! I guess she'll be going to Spain in about 11 years or so to follow in her big sister's footsteps.
