About Me

We are spending the summer in Spain and hoping that this simple blog will keep our friends and family informed about our activities. Of course, if you want to follow this in chronological order, you have to start at the bottom of the blog. Also, by clicking on any of the blog photos you should be taken to a Flickr page with additional images of our trip.

Guernica


Madrid 2009 370

One of the main reasons tourists (like me) visit the Reina Sophia museum is to see Picasso´s "Guernica". But, like the Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there are so many other people in the room that you really can´t appreciate what you are there to see. Instead one resorts to taking pictures which, unlike most museums, the Reina Sophia allows. So, there I was standing in the crowd looking at this enormous painting and I decided to take pictures of other people´s pictures. This person seems to have gotten a good one to take back with her to Italy.
