Human Again!!

I'm definitely starting to feel better!! Today I got to get back to doing touristy things!! After grammar class today, my friend and I went to El Museo de las Americas, which is centered around Spanish colonization. It was really interesting to see things from the Spanish perspective, which was mostly scientific and anthropological (they didn't say much about violence against the natives). I bought a cook book that has 100 recipes for tapas in the gift shop!!

We went home for la comida and a little siesta, and then met up again around 5:45. He wanted to go the Prado, which is free from 6-8pm, and I wanted to visit the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, which is a art museum I haven't been to yet. Unfortunately, but the time I got to the museum it was about 6:20, and I realized it closed at 7 instead of 8 like the Prado. It was worth paying to get in, so I walked around a little bit and finally went over to the Prado. I love the gift shop over there, so I bought a couple of things, including this really great book about the museum!! I sat on the lawn of the museum and waited for my friend to be finished. It was really lovely there in the shade reading about art :)

When my friend and I met up again, we decided to go over to Sol and did some shopping at the tourist shops, and then finally found a little tapas place, where we had dinner.

Tomorrow I'm planning on doing some site-seeing by myself :) I think it will be nice to have some alone time, and see some of the historical sites at my own pace!
