The final week on Madrid was a whirlwind as we attended a Roman Festival in Alcalá, visited the Royal Palace, the Cathedral of the Almudena and its Crypt, the Museum Reina Sofía of Contemporary Art (where Picasso's Guernica is located), and the Thyssen-Bornemitzsa Museum. The best day was spent at the Madrid Temple with some of our students.
Here are some shots from our wandering around Madrid:
Typical meats grilled over a slow fire.

The Neo-Romantic Crypt located under the Cathedral
The Cathedral of the Almudena located in front of the main entrance to the Palace.
This the ceiling of the grand staircase in the Palace. It is only place where you can take pictures in the Palace.

At the Madrid Temple!
Thanks to Jannette for reminding me of your blog--it will be a pleasure to follow you through this journey.
