lasmeninasAfter spending nearly 7 hours today at the Prado in Madrid and seeing many incredibly great and famous masterpieces, our first moment inside remains my favorite.  Just as Susan and I were leaving the security scanner, a woman with a badge approached us.  What follows is the actual dialog:

Woman (in heavily accented English): Do you want a guided tour to see the most important sites of the Prado in one hour?

Us: No, no, we’re art historians.

Woman: Toilets.  Right downstairs.
