One More Week and Counting!

We are starting to get a little excited about our trip... We leave a week from tomorrow!

Sarah and I are looking forward to visiting the famous Prado Museum in Madrid. According to the literature we have been reading, the Prado boasts some important Renaissance masterpieces such as Juan de Juanes's, The Last Supper. We will see famous works of Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Goya.

The above painting, The Maids of Honor, is an example of the work of Diego Velazquez. It's hard to imagine that we will be able to gaze at the original, finding all the hidden pictures within, in just a few short days...
