I woke up and waited for my cousins to come. Once they did come, we played. Nina, Rita, and Uxue tied my leg to a door and held me hostage until lunch. Then after lunch they tried to rob me of my clothes. Luckily, they did not.
Then we went to an art museum called La Reina Sofia. It had modern art. The most memorable work of art was called Guernica, and it was painted by Picasso. It was complex. It was hard to look at one thing because there was so much stuff to look at.

After we left the museum, we went home.
Sunday was almost our last day in Madrid. Here are some things I've noticed about the differences between living in Ada and living in Madrid.
In Ada, we ride in cars, and in Madrid we walk, take the train, take the subway, and ride on the bus.
In Ada, we have a big, two-story house, our own bedrooms, and early bedtimes. We don't have to be quiet in the afternoon because people don't take siestas like they do in Madrid.
In Madrid, we live in a small apartment, we have to share bedrooms, we go to bed later than we do in Ada, and we have to be quiet in the afternoon because people are taking siestas. In Madrid, there aren't any stairs in the apartment, but there are stairs to get to your apartment.
The thing I liked best about living in Abuelo's and Abuela's house was that they had so many good places to lie down.
After leaving Evanston, we headed to Milwaukee.
Positioned outside the Milwaukee Art Museum, one of the works in this year’s Sculpture Milwaukee is Elmgreen & Dragset’s giant telescope sculpture, “A Greater Perspective.” It points toward Lake Michigan.
