Saturday: We arrived in Madrid unscathed but Zombies. Drove around the city a bit to a famous bullfight ring (just the outside, no event going on), and then the statue of Cervantes and Don Quixote (I am sure my spelling is bad and I will blame that on the Spanish vino). They let us loose in the city and a small group went for tapas and then to the Palace Real (Royal Palace). We saw the typical palace stuff and enjoyed watching how the cherubs seemed to change positions as you moved from one area of the painting to the other. I enjoyed the pharmacy which included the laboratory of huge mortars and pestles, beakers, and brick oven. Dinner was paella....and of course preservative-free Spanish wine.
