| Gloria leads Mary and Ed on a shopping expedition |
Mary & Ed then went to the Reina Sofia museum; George & Gloria took a taxi to the Prado. George walked across the street, taking command of a comfortable seat that overlooked the big fountain in the traffic roundabout in front of the museum. There he relaxed, reading magazines and nursing a couple of beers until Gloria's art craving was satisfed.
Running low on post-museum energy, we returned to "Cafe & Tapas" in Puerta del Sol. Gloria and I had eaten here upon arrival in Madrid five days ago. It's also where she was introduced to her favorite afternoon Spanish beverage: Tinto de Verano (a carbonated spritzer made with red wine).
Cafe and Tapas switched on the patio misters, and the rainforest atmosphere actually worked to cool things off. But a tableful of British tourists couldn't handle the ambience, they left in a hurry!
