Day 6 - Sí Señora, how may I help you?

Madrid

No, I can't figure out what it is either
We spent the morning wandering the streets of Madrid (K thinks it's because M was in charge of the map, but I'm sure I read somewhere that the best way to recover from gastro was lots of walking .....).

We finally made it to the Museo de Arte Reina Sofia for some Dali & Picasso (amongst others). The Spanish have done well in the history of painting .... Australia on the other hand has Mr. Squiggle and Rolf Harris .... 

At one point K was sitting in a museum guard's chair in the corner of one of the many rooms when she was mistaken for someone who worked there and was asked directions to Picasso's Guernica. Not only did she know what it was, but she also provided directions to it in perfect Spanish (thanks Manny, who'd have though K would - nearly - be mistaken for a local).
