Excursions: May 2003 Archives

we’re back from a week in Madrid, and still trying to sort out impressions from the place. though this much i can recommend right away: rent yourself a rowboat at Buen Retiro park, since euro-for-euro (or dollar-tentytwo-for-dollar-twentytwo), it’s one of the best buys on the continent.

oh, and i don’t know if it was because i had churros for breakfast, or what, but ‘Guernica’ underwhelmed, while Rothko’s ‘green on maroon’ just socked it to me. how’d that happen?
