Long weekend rundown

Thursday was another kind of un-Spanish day, haha. We went to see "Mas Extrano que la Ficcion," also known as "Stranger that Fiction" (en ingles of course.) Then we went to a Mexican restaurant that Bernie told us about. The dinner was very good, although a little unsettling since we didn't eat until 11pm. Then on the way back to the metro we managed to get whistled at, even though we were in the gay neighborhood, great.

Friday was spent exploring a nearby neighborhood that we hadn't been through yet. It is called Salamance and is the 'rich' neighborhood with lots of upscale shops like Dior, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, etc. Then we went out dancing with some other Americans who also go to Nebrija. Spaniards are crazy, because when we were leaving at 3:30am (which is sooo late for Americans) they were just arriving.

Today El Museo de Reina Sofia was free in the afternoon, so went there to see some incredible Picassos and Dalis. I realized that I have seen a couple of famous paintings already, including The Guernica today, by Picasso, which was massive.

Also there was Mujer en Ventana by Dali.


And at the Prado I saw Las Meninas, by Velazquez.
