Howdy From Madrid!
Traveling to Madrid
After a 7 hour bus ride we finally arrived at our Hotel at Madrid yesterday around 4:30 pm. These pictures are from our travels.

This Morning we set out to explore the city of Madrid:
We actually ended up getting a little more than we bargained for and will be making sure that we bring more water and snacks for our future expeditions to the city's center. ( You can ask Kade and Raul about their nauseating experiences if you want more details). We had originally planned on heading into see the Prado art museum in the center of Madrid but by the time we navigated the Metro ( subway) system and got our bearing and walked to the entrance the line was too long for us to get in before we had to return in order to go to the Mass this evening. The opening Mass was celebrated by the Cardinal-archbishop of Madrid and concelebrated by thousands of priests and bishops from throughout the world who made the journey to Madrid. After Mass we had dinner and came back to the hotel - as it was nearly Midnight by the time we returned. Here are some pictures:
