Last day in Madrid

The next day, September 7th, was our last day in Madrid and the last day of our two week trip. We first went to the Reina Sofia Art Museum which I liked but by that time I was a little tired of going to museums so I probably didn't look around as much as I should have. The museum did have some really cool glass elevator shafts and a more modern addition to the older part of the museum.

From there we went to the Caixa Forum which is a really cool new building by Herzog and DeMueron where they gutted out an existing building and added new walls on top of it. You could walk under the whole building and it had its big silver entry staircase centered underneath the building. We went in and the building had a large lobby with a gift shop and then a huge white staircase that took you to the other levels with different galleries and a restaurant on the top floor.

We hung out in the building for a while just walking around before heading to El Retiro. The park was huge so we walked around a bit and then sat in the park awhile before walking around to see the drummers and entertainers by the big lake.

That night we went back to the restaurant with the really good guacamole and had it again with fajitas and sangria. I definitely liked the food in Madrid better than anywhere else we went. That night we went to the bar in the hostel again and packed up to leave the next day to go back to Prague. The trip was really awesome and we got to see so much. I was really glad we picked the cities that we did and I was also excited to get to Prague and settle in to where we would be living for the next three months.
