9/27/2015: Palacio Real

Breakfast of Churros and Chocolate. Can't get any better start to the day. Got to the Palacio Real at opening time.  Only to find a huge line.  We persevered. It wasn't that bad once inside. We rented the guided tour phone.  It really helped. Way to much detail to repeat here. This Palace is so huge, it cannot be described. The ornateness of everything was way beyond my taste or comprehension. The artwork was amazing. The ceiling art was so elaborate as to wonder if it was real. Of course, we had to wonder, how this compared to the life of the peasants that supported all of this. Everything, inside and out was grandiose, in the least.

We were looking forward to Sunday at Parwue del  Retiro. The park itself is very nice.  We were expecting a more lively scene.  However, we enjoyed the park environs very much. Headed back for packing and, hopefully, an early night.
