The nice thing of living in Madrid is that every weekend we can be tourist within our own city. An even better thing about Madrid is that all museums have certain days in the week when entrance is free. On Saturdays – for example – the Railway museum and the archeological museum
son gratuitos.
Railway museum was great fun and I could relive my days as Thomas the Tank Engine (although Carmen and I were controversially considered 'too old' to have a ride on the mini-train..the only real disappointment of the day). After this we walked the long way north (passing Atocha, Paseo del Prado and Cibelles..see photos below from our walk) up to the national library on Plaza Colon (Square of Columbus). The national library also houses the archeological museum – a true treasure of national history.
At night we rented the movie Capote about the American writer
Truman Capote whilst he was writing his final book In Cold Blood on the Kansas Clutter murders in 1959. Impressive movie. After this Carmen and I met with Eduardo and we went for a few drinks in La Latina, the nice going out area close to our house. It is similar to ‘De Pijp’ in Amsterdam. Edu was in great spirits (as was I) as Atletí won their match against Osasuna. A violent match which saw a missed Torres penalty and 4 (!!) Osasuna red cards! We are currently 5th in La Liga trailing the leader Barcelona by only three points.

Although we stayed in the museum for the better part of two hours I will have to return to finish my visit. The museum houses a great collection of Roman, Egyptian, Moorish, Greek and Byzantine art. All of which have had a great influence on Spanish culture.
