Madrid day 1

After a nice and relaxing flight to madrid this morning we arrived at our hotel high tech along the Gran Via in the heart of Madrid. We had a chance to walk through the plaza callao and mayor. We tried to stay we much in the shade as possible as the temperature was in the upper 90's. After lunch on the plaza mayor we headed to the museo de reina Sofia and saw works from Giro and Picasso amongst others. For dinner we had a pasta appetizers and meatballs and potatoes at an excellent Italian restaurant. Kids made it through their first day in Spain. Tomorrows itinerary will include more sites to visit.
