dissapointments

Today we went into Madrid again. We got off at the the palace, but we then found in wasn't open!!! It was closed for a government thing. So then we went on a self guided tour of Royal Madrid. We went to the tourists office to see if the theme park we wanted to see was open. It wasn't. Grrrr, neither was any other thing for children, unless it was outside Madrid. So we went to the archeology museum. It turned out to be free, something to be happy about, until we found that the museum took no more then ten minutes to go through. So, we went to the garden, still hoping the boats would be open. To our surprise........ They were open!!! So we spent a happy 45 minutes rowing around a pond. Then we went to a hot house, but alas it was another disappointment, it was an art exhibition (In my mind a garbage heap) that used bottles to make compasses *yawn* So we went back to the Prado, stopping at a restaurant for lunch. Today we did the second floor, they seem to do themes in art....... dieing, ill, war, and religion. With a few exceptions of Saturn eating his children! *Ewwww* Then we went back to the hostel with Saturn eating his children in our heads. Josephine a not arted out person *gasp*
