Day One Madrid

We arrived in Madrid and went directly to thr Ibis Mardid Velantin Beato hotel to unpack and rest. We then went by Metro to the Prado Museun to see El Greco, Valazquez, aqnd Goya paintings. We walked to a large park that used to be in the king's back yard. It has a lake and is as large as Central Park. The flowers and parks are everywhere and beautiful. We did a walking tour of Madrid by the Plaza de Mayor and had a terrific buffet at Freso's Restaurant. We still had jet lag and crashed at the hotel about 11. It is typical to eat dinner at 9 here!
