• Touring (walking Madrid 11 miles)

    May 29, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    It’s summertime here in Madrid. It’s 90 degrees and the Spanish people are out enjoying the awesome summer.
    And I’m also enjoying the weather. I’v walked alot today. I got up early and went to the Raina Sofia Museum. It is massive. There I got to take in Picasso’s “Guernica.” I was very interested in seeing this painting because the Camino took me through the city of Guernica. And while there I sat on a beach in the cities main square, looking up to sky , and tried to imagine that day in 1939 when Hitlers bombers carpet bombed and destroyed the town. I had much the same reaction as when I visited Pearl Harbor. The experience left me sad but grateful that the city rebounded.
    I also got to take a collection of Salvador Dali’s work. After seeing his work I said to myself, this guy is really messed up, 🤠🤠
    Madrid is a beautiful City. I’m really enjoying it.
