Yesterday we took a tour of the Palace Real, it was probably one of the most ornate palaces we have been in to date. The halls wre beautiful and the views from the windows were excellent. My favorite part though had to be there armory where they had full suits of armor of both knights and horses alike. They even had some for dogs and children. though most of it was extremely ornate and obviously for show, i liked it, especially the conquistador helmets and the 10 foot muskets.
Our hostel, is pretty nice, though the walls are very thin and I could here our neighbor snoring through the walls last night...atleast that is all I had heard. We slept in this morning until ten then walked around town some more, intending to do some shopping and exploring, though, much to our dismay, we had forgotten today is sunday and nothing was really open. We walked to the parque del buen retiro and the old train station that has been filled withtropical trees instead of tracks. Which by the way was a neat idea on paper, but horribly humid when used as a place for people to travel through. We then went to get out of the heat by going to see oceans 13, which was pretty good, but not up to par of the others. I guess you would expect that for the 3rd installment. spiderman, cough. cough
tomorrow toledo, cordoba!
