Madrid day 2

We´ve just finished our 2nd day in Madrid and are hanging out at our hotel to prepare for an early morning train to Barcelona. Today we went to the Prado Museum to see a lot of famous Spanish art, our favorite was the Goya works. We had to wait in line for about an hour to get in and the museum was huge, so this took up almost half of our day. The buildings here are very pretty with cute little streets tucked in corners, so we have a couple pictures in this entry of the architecture and scenery.
Then we had a picnic lunch which consisted of the jamon iberico bellota! We ended up just buying some ham cheese and bread and making our own sandwiches, which turned out to be cheaper. Being the best ham in the entire world, it was pretty delicious, and we knew it was good quality because it was hand sliced in front of us right off of a leg of pork, hoof and all. (Ew) The pigs are fed an acorn only diet, which is the reason for their tastiness.
After a siesta, we returned to the city and saw a Picasso exhibition at the Reina Sofia, including Guernica, which was pretty cool to see in person. After the museum we endulged in a doner kebab, which is basically a pita stuffed with meat, lettuce, tomato and creamy sauce...it´s super cheap and really good. After that we decided to try some special Madrid hot chocolate, which is really thick and like nothing we have tried before. We also ordered some churros to dip in the chocolate, which was interesting and rich. (Fyi we are planning on gaining about 20 kgs each this trip.)
We are staying about a 40 minute train ride away from the city so we haven´t really been able to stay out in Madrid past 11pm, so now we are winding down our time here and are looking forward to our next 4 days in Barcelona--where we will go crazy at the discos :). We have been really fortunate with internet access and the ability to upload photos, so we can´t promise this consistent of updates, but we will do our best. Ole!
