Monday 3.19.12
Scattered throughout Madrid, there were lots of American chains such as Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, etc..Monday Morning, Chloe and I decided a visit to Dunkin Donuts was in order for breakfast. The coffee was not as good but the donut was delicious, I ordered the Boston Crema Coco. The coffee in Spain is a lot stronger than Italy, lots of sugar was needed every time. We also ordered potatas (fried potatoes). I have noticed that in Italy and in Spain when you order fries they offer mayonnaise for a dipping option…After breakfast, we walked to the Caixa Forum where a ballet costume exhibit was going on. It was really good to see how they exhibited the pieces and what kind of directional graphics they used to move you through the spaces. They also had a persistence of geometry in architecture exhibit which we went to as well. We finished up the day going to another market with vendors and seeing the royal palace of Madrid. Finally, we walked through Park Retiro when the sun was setting. This was a huge park with lots of beautiful scenery. There were people everywhere and lots of street shows performed by random people.
