Day 9: Madrid

05/26/2009

What a beautiful place! This city is composed of beautiful buildings, museums and famous gardens. In Madrid we visited The Prado Museum. In the museum we saw some of the most famous paintings of Velázquez and Goya. I am very sad that we were not allowed to take pictures of the famous paintings. Velázquez’s painting Las Meninas was very impressing. After many years of conservation, the painting still possesses its true colors. I could have spent all day inside the museum. This trip opened my eyes to search for more interesting art. I have a special interest in art. This was an experience of a lifetime.
