La Comida de Madrid es muy Mal

All throughout this trip we've been having fantastic food, but once we got to Madrid we were extremely disappointed with the local cuisine. All of the "Spanish Tapas" places I've been to in the United States have all been excellent, but here the food is pretty gross. Everything is either drenched in Mayonnaise, or else it is deep fried and then drenched in mayonnaise. Plain mayonnaise is the salad dressing, toast is smothered in it, and deep friend anchovies are dipped in it. Pretty much all the restaurants display the same kinds of things on their menus, so I don't think we just went to a bad place. We were able to find a (totally empty) Kebab restaurant today, which was actually very good (and half the price of KFC). We'll probably be back there again.

Internet cafes are much better in Madrid than in Venice or Paris. I was actually able to just hook my laptop up and use that directly. See the Pictures of Venice and the Pictures of Paris.

Today we are just sort of tooling around the neighborhood by our hotel. We'll probably hop on a different one of those double-decker buses today, because they have 3 different routes around the city. No plans for tonight yet, but I'm still researching entertainment.

Tomorrow we will be taking a guided tour of the Royal Palace and the Museo del Prado. The Royal Palace is the largest palace in Europe, with more than 2800 rooms. Really, who needs a house that big?
