don Quijote...says welcome!.
HOLA, MADRID!!! we arrived today and had a wonderful time walking about the city of Madrid, so lively and sunny! in the afternoon, we visited the PRADO MUSEUM, and were very impressed with las MENINAS ,by VELAZQUEZ...and by Goya´s paintings, ..then we had some free time before meeting our tour guide Lola, who took us to dinner in a really cool place called FRESCO´S...where we ate as much as we wanted and satisfied our hunger after a very lond day of excitement and....tiredness from the flight. We took the subway back to our hotel...quite an experience for some of us!! This is going to be a wonderful tour....we have students from 5 different states in our group, and they all seem really nice!
