Hello again! As some of you may know, I am taking an art class here called Arte en el Museo del Prado, so yesterday morning we had our first visit, focusing on the works of Doménikos Theotokópoulos, better known as El Greco. It was an awesome experience, even though it was really packed. We had looked at a lot of his works in class, but they were absolutely breathtaking in person. We talked a lot about symbolism and color and proportionality of the human body in his works. I took some pictures that I wasn’t supposed to take (no photography of any kind, how lame), so you might as well enjoy them!
La Anunciación
I can’t remember the name of this one, I will have to check the next time we go
Adoración de los pastores
La Trinidad
Coronación de la Virgen
Since I’m lazy and don’t want to make another post, I’m going to include a bunch of miscellaneous pictures in this one. Enjoy!
Last night, enjoying tinto de verano with Sara!
Ignore how awkwardly posed I am
A cathedral right next to the Prado that I need to check out some time. Beautiful architecture!
Bjorn and David found some hats in my living room. So fancy
Love the architecture here!
View of Madrid from a restaurant balcony.
That architecture though!
Friends! L to R: Dylan, David, and Sara
Another good one of Sara and I from last night
John and Sara! You don’t appreciate Corona this much until all of your other alternatives are gross. Spanish beer is not good, haha

So glad you don’t always follow the rules. Wonder why they don’t want any photography at all? I understand the flash thing, but what harm is regular photography?

Hello Marissa, Aunt Carolyn and I greatly enjoy your pictures, authorized or not, keep them coming. It is also great that you can share photos / memories of your overseas travels; back when I travelled on business electronic sharing was not an option!! Soak up the culture and build upon your experiences; they will serve you well. Uncle Rick & Carolyn.
