Segovia, Madrid, and weird art museums Part 2

First off let we left Alcala in the morning and got off at Atoche stations were we were right outside the Reina Sofia. We went into the Reina Sofia which is a comtemporary art museum and let me tell you how it went! People who appreciate this type of art would love it, the most impressive thing was Picasso's Guernica. I try to like all type of art but really I was dissapointed in this museum because I guess I don't know how to understand the art or nor did it tell a story like the Prado Museum. After about two unbearable hours in the Raina Sofia we go to the Plaza Mayor.... big deal just a square, the one in Alcala is much more beautiful. After we look at Plaza Mayor I go check out El Rastro.... nothing wonderful about it reminds me of Oktoberfest back home (mom you get this one right?). So after wasting some time there we meet back at Plaza Mayor and watch this fat spiderman do nothing except people laugh at him. SO after that we all walk over the the Prado Museum where sadly I had only two hours to visit it but the good news was that is was FREE! This was the gem of the whole trip! They had some beautiful works by Goya, Velasquez, and several other Spanish painters as well as some from around the world. My favorite painting was of King Louis (forgot which number so many) the husband of Marie Antoinette. He was garbed in the traditional robes of blue and cream with pretty fleur de-lis' . I think it was my favorite painting because its from one of my favorite times and is part of one of my favorite stories in history that being of Marie Antoinette. Wish I had the time to visit Retiro Park, I'll hit that one up next time I go back, and I will also spend more than 3 hours in the Prado just to not be rushed. Hope you all enjoyed the Segovia Post because I will not post another that long, my hands hurt by the time I was done. Here is a link to some pictures http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=2013708&id=1285680068&ref=nf if that doesn't work then I'll try to put it on photobucket or some website.
