Grand Tour, Day 39: Madrid Wednesday

When we woke up, I went with my mom and dad to buy presents for our family. Then my mom went back home, and I went with my dad to the Thyssen-Bornemisza, which is an art museum.

One of the most memorable paintings was by Vincent Van Gogh of Auvers Sur-Oise. There is grassy field with some trees in it. It was memorable because we had been to Auvers Sur-Oise.

The other memorable painting was by Salvador Dali. In it there a woman down on a rock in the middle of a large mass of water. There are two tigers about to pounce on top of her. One of the tigers is going to get eaten by a big fish and the other is going to land right on her. This one was memorable because I knew about it before we went there because it was in the Study Blue that I wrote about earlier.

With "Santa Casilda" (1640-45) by Francisco Zurbaran.

With "Hotel Room" (1931) by Edward Hopper.

After the museum, we went back home, and Rita and Uxue were there. I tried to read them a book called "Asterix" in Spanish. Then they had to go back home. After they left, we had dinner. I had a mango popsicle, carrots with hummus, and tomatoes. Then we played our last Carioca of the trip. Abuela won.
