Feliz Cumpleaños Papá

Happy Birthday Dad!!! --Did you find the birthday card I hid?!?!

Today we went to the Prado! It was much cooler than I expected because while I enjoy art museums just to browse and for the wow factor, today our guide, Fernando, gave us an in-depth art history lesson which made things much more interesting. Velazquez's portrait of Aesop is even creepier in person.

After lunch, we had our second academic workshop at Comillas, which is basically a everything you need to know Spanish-review class. We learned slang yesterday and today we worked our our spanish "lisp"....I still cannot roll my "r"s though.

I just got back from some afternoon tapas with some friends. The top 40 countdown was on in the background. Among the Spanish artists, Black Eyed Peas and Shakira both appeared twice.

    Estas en Madrid, not Madrith.
