Dia Quatro: Prado Museum and European Futbol Championships.


Hola!  This is Marie coming to you live from the bus on our way to Portugal!  Yesterday morning we took a nice walk through the streets of Madrid to go to the Museo de Prado.  We all got to experience wonderful and majestic art pieces from Spanish painters from the Renaissance as well as German and Flemish painters.  After the exciting day at the museum we all had time to explore, shop and of course our favorite activity to do eat.  We then freshened up at the hotel for our exciting dinner at a tapas restaurant that our tour guide, Pedro made reservations for.  While eating a delicious paella dinner we got to watch the European League Futbol Championship between Real Madrid and Madrid Athletico!  It was a GREAT game to watch!  It went into overtime but Real Madrid came up with the win, very exciting!  The score was 4-1! That was the first time I ever watched an entire soccer game. The city went loco! 500,000 people flooded the streets of Madrid and we were right there celebrating with them!    We all are very excited to go to Lisbon, Portugal! Adios!
Walking down Gran Via celebrating with the crowd!
 Celebration continues, Go Real Madrid!  10th European Cup!
