Our First Royal Adventure!

Hello all!

Our first day in Spain has been both amazing and exhausting.  We are still jetlagged, but its getting much better after our well deserved night of rest!  To start the day off we had a fabulous breakfast at the hotel with delicious/ unique choices like salads, funky breads, pasteries and much more!!  We walked around the corner from our hotel to the Reina Sofia (queen of Madrid) Contemporary Art Mueseum.  We saw paintings by Dali, Picasso and other surrealist artists!  We even saw Guernica,  it was HUGE and amazing!  Our tour guide spoke ONLY spanish, which was interesting, but we surprisingly knew/ understood a lot! We couldn't take any pictures in the museums, but we snuck a few.  Next, we went to the Royal Palace, which was outstanding!! Every room had walls covered in silk and intricate designs, but the internet is being annoying so we can't upload any pictures at this moment.  After we toured the palace we took a long walk through Madrid and saw famous plazas throughout the city.  We ended up walking for a total of 8 hours, so now our feet hurt quite a bit!  Our first day in Spain has been great and we can't wait to tell y'all more about what we have done, but right now we are off to eat dinner with our new friends and hit the hay!
