Yesterday was kind of a slow day. The craziness of the first few days really caught up with us I think, and we found it very difficult to move. Eventually we got ourselves to the Reina Sofia. On our way there, we met a group of Americans on the Metro who were from Clemson, doing a semester abroad for their architecture program. It seemed like a bit of a joke to be honest; as Jack pointed out, one of the kids we were talking to had no idea what they were going to see (the Reina Sofia as well).
The museum was very cool. They were giving away free tickets, for reasons unbeknownst to us, which made us feel very important. We saw most of the permanent collection, including the David Smith pieces on display. That was very fun, I never stop getting a kick out of that to be honest. There was also a cool exhibit of photographs of Manhattan by different New York based artists. A bunch were taken in Tribeca, and Jack and I could both see our blocks in a handful of them.
After the museum we had a tasty dinner at a restaurant called Dos Velas, which we found through our Lonely Planet book. On our way back to the hotel we stopped in at a pub for a pint of Guinness each, which was quite delicious. I ordered awkwardly in Spanish, only to realize that the bartender was Irish, which was funny. I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility of us heading back there at some point today.
much love
