Madrid Pictures!

On Friday, I was awake before the sun!

In Madrid

The Palacio Real

A lamp in the square inside the castle walls

The cathedral in Madrid...facing the Royal Palace. The throne room in the palace faces  the cathedral

The Palace


At the palace! 

Some cool stone work above the entrance where we went into the palace

Where we ate lunch. There are two floors below this (underground!) where we actually ate, but if you click on the picture to make it bigger, you can see that all the things hanging from the ceiling are ham! Pig legs, complete with hoofs. It's dried out and they can be found everywhere here. EVERYwhere. Even the grocery store, little markets, and as ceiling decorations in restaurants. 



Elmo!

This is a real person. Not a statue.




In the church next to the Prado


El Retiro...the Central park of Madrid



Myself and the two friends I was in Madrid with...Meg and Laura. Both are students at St. Norbert in Green Bay, WI


The Prado

Sunset

El Rastro....the crazy market thing we went to on Sunday
