Random things I failed to mention.


Our last day in Madrid, Lydia and I went to the Reina Sofia, the renowned modern art museum. The picture above is an original Picasso that I saw. Strangely, you're allowed to take pictures in that museum. I discovered a new found freedom in that...and I confess, I went a little picture crazy in the museum. I've never been allowed to take pictures in a museum in my life!

This hand is better...but since that day of benedryl (which my body does NOT respond well to...don't ever give me that), my other hand swelled, as did my face and part of my leg...all sequentially. Not all in the same day. I don't know what it is with the mosquitos here (or as my new found British friend in Madrid would say, the mozzies. haha.). I get bitten a lot in the States too, but they don't swell like this. I have since purchased a bug spray for my skin, a bug spray for the house, and another bug-repelling plug for our room. And just yesterday, I found a dead mosquito under it. I admit that it gave me great pleasure to see him die. I really don't understand why God created them. What purpose do they serve? Spiders I don't like...but I can understand their function in creation. Snakes I don't like...but I can understand that too. But mosquitos? Why, Lord?

THIS is the Starbucks display in Madrid. Seriously, USA....get it together!!! These desserts looked amazing. I did not partake...but I enjoyed looking at them.

Anyway. There's a smattering of subjects. Next time I'll talk about idioms I've learned here in Galicia...it gives you an insight into how they think. :)
