Mad About Madrid

Went a-walkin’ for a few hours, down to Atocha station and that modern art museum. Took more wonderful pix, but you’ll have to wait, unless I can get my Flickr account up and running one evening.

I spent time with the Picassos, Miros, and the Dalis, but the postwar painters left me cold/bored. Similarly, the contemporary exhibit was just disastrous, but helped reinforce my belief that most contemporary art is crap.

Next three days, I’ll be at the conference, but I hope to get to the Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza on Friday. Or I’ll take a day trip to Toledo.

Hola!

Made it into Madrid safe & sound, dear readers! Event-free flight, made even less eventful thanks to a dose of Xanax.

Took some great pix yesterday, but my hotel has no wireless net access, so I won’t be able to post any of them for a while. I’m hoping to get down to Centro de Arte Reine Sofia today, and to avoid the Museo Del Jamon, where we had a late-night drunken stop yesterday.
