On Saturday after the Prado we walked up to this park called Retirio. It opens up into this fountain surrounded by statues and hedges, and in the spring probably flowers! There are tons of Spanish people around running, biking, rollerblading, paseoing(strolling). It is such a happy place. We got some pictures at these broccoli trees, they were so strange. As you walk up some stairs you arrive at another part of the giant park. It was my favorite. There is a huge stair case-plaza-statue thing that kind of reminds me of D.C. and a big pond with rowing boats. When we were there it was almost 60 degrees, so many people were just out soaking in the sun! It was such a good time. Oh and to mention how Americanized the world is, which I am not negative about, it is just funny, there was a Spanish Mickey and Minnie at the park! When we said Hola to Minnie, she responded in this low, husky spanish woman voice! Classic! well I included some pictures of Retirio, to date that is my favorite place in Madrid!
