Taste-testing these oddly-illustrated Parisian Lay's chips. They taste like regular Lay's BBQ. Disappointing!

Big day in Madrid today. Saw Guernica at the Museo Reina Sofia along with the children learning about Dali & Miro, and some anti-n%#i posters from the 30s. Headed to Casa Julián de Tolosa for a Basque-style steak, walk back through El Retiro park and the best version of gambas a ajillo so far.

Street walking Madrid, found a nice tapas bar with a dead bull on the wall. Ordered a vermouth, as one does in Madrid, and it came with cracklins and very good bread.
