This weekend, we went to the Reina Sofia Museum where Picasso's famous "Guernica" painting is held. They actually allowed pictures to be taken inside, without the flash of course. This was a great experience because I had studied this painting in my high school Spanish class, and it was really interesting to see it in person. We also strolled through the Caso de Campo park, which has a theme park, lake, and the best zoo in Europe. It was so nice out that we decided to take a little row boat out on the lake!

We studied Guernica in high school too! So jealous that you got to see it in real life. It looks like you're really enjoying yourself, as you should be! You should blog about the comparison between classes on campus at Iowa State and in Spain!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah it has been really fun! The class sizes are 15 to 20 people, so very different from Iowa State!! I will definitely blog about the differences between Spain and the States next :)
