We learned this lesson in Italy not that long ago, but how quickly we forget.<\/p>\n

With COVID, a lot of the busy tourist destinations now require reservations to manage capacity. I hate that, as it pains my soul to have to pre-plan pretty much every day of a vacation, but we are where we are. For the first time in pretty much ever, I can tell you where we’ll be on any given day for the next four weeks. Ugh.<\/p>\n

As we only have one more day booked in Madrid we have tickets for both the Prado and Reina Sofia museums – one each in the morning and afternoon. It makes perfect sense on paper as they are just a short walk away from one another and tackling them both now means we can move on from the big city.<\/p>\n

Now we both like art, even though we aren’t at all sophisticated enough to understand the nuances that make a Picasso a Picasso and a Picardo just a Picardo. Yes, seeing Guernica is very cool, but after looking at 30 Ruebens in a single room and realizing you have at least 50 more rooms to go, your brain simply can’t handle it anymore. I know it is an empty promise (like swearing I’ll never pay for another buffet) but from here on out, one museum per day.<\/p>\n

No photos allowed in either museum so if you’re curious to see anything we saw, Google is your friend.<\/p>\n

On to more important matters. For reasons we cannot explain, a skillet with fried eggs, sausage, and potatoes (in fry form) here is not breakfast. Don’t let that sway you. It is still delicious as a lunch. The jug of sangria doesn’t hurt either.<\/p>\n
