Biblioteca National de Espana = FAIL

Since we are not members of the National Library of Spain, library staff would not permit us to tour inside. But the affable senora explained that the Biblioteca operated a museum open to the public. Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived. Still, the architecture and surrounding landscape were quite photogenic.




Even if the Biblioteca National wasn't open for our viewing pleasure, the Hard Rock Cafe, Madrid was nearby. Admittedly not part of the traditional Spanish palate, HRC reminded us a little bit of home. And the food was pretty darn good, too.


We can't forget about me looking awkward in front of the Hard Rock building.
