El Prado

Yesterday we met at the train station at 10:00am to go to the Museo del Prado. It was the most amazing art museum I've ever seen! We admired the art for several hours and only saw a few main artists like Velazquez and Goya, so we will definitely be returning soon. It was incredible to see the paintings that I've heard so much about, like Las Meninas and Goya's dark works, I enjoyed every painting. Amy, Erica, Sarah, and I sat outside in the sun afterwards and ate our lunches that our madres had packed for us. It was such a beautiful warm day! Then we decided to do a little shopping downtown by the Puerta del Sol and we topped off the perfect day with delicious gelato ice cream. Church was great today, the members of the ward are friendly and from what I can understand the lessons and talks are great. The ward pianist is my favorite, he plays as if he is in concert. The prelude music and every hymn we sing is a work of art, I love how music brings the Spirit so quickly into the room. We just had a yummy lunch, and talked for about an hour afterwards with Ana. I just love her! I feel like I've known her for so long, but it has only been una semana, que loco.
