I was in the middle of writing this two days ago when I went out to have a drink with my hosts for Saint Patrick's day:
The day was sunny and temperate. I got up earlier than usual, and went to have breakfast with my friend Gina underneath the office building where she works, in Nuevos Ministerios.
Later, I walked across the city to see Juan Álvarez about a new guitar case. Arriving and found his shop closed until 5:00 pm.
I went to the Prado and the Reina Sofía in the evening, when both museums offer free admission.
Now, I'm at home in Berryville, Virginia. There's much to write about my last day in Madrid- something brief about weather; something much longer about Goya and all the paintings I had left too little time to see.
