Museo Reina Sofía and the Egyptian Temple

Okay, here goes another attempt at catching up on my blogging! On Wednesday, October 5, we went as a group to the Museo Reina Sofía (Queen Sofia Museum). This museum is mostly comprised of modern art. The highlight was seeing Picasso's Guernica and all of the preparatory paintings in person... it really was an emotional experience. Plus, the original is 25 x 11 feet. Obviously, no pics allowed. But here is a pic from Google:
There were lots of cool Dalí paintings too.

After leaving the museum, a group of us went to this park in the middle of Madrid that has a) a random Egyptian temple and b) a fantastic view of the city. Here are some of the pics I snapped:







On our way back to the Metro, we came across a market, so we decided to check it out. And there I found this joy:
Yes, you better believe it's a set of Russian nesting dolls with Bill, Monica, Hillary, Paula, and... er... a reproductive unit of Bill! Finding it in Madrid just made it that much funnier!
