Day 4

Went to Museo de Prado (Spanish for "Building full of tourists") today, and unfortunately they don't allow cameras inside, or backpacks. So instead, a statistical analysis of the works of art inside.

Lactating nipples : 4 (two on the same one)
People shot through with arrows: 5
Dogs for no reason: 3
Baby eating: 1 (thank you Goya)
Paintings I recognized: 2
Amount of money I didn't pay for a guided tour: €50


An entrance to Museo del Prado. I say 'an' entrance because there is another entrance somewhere else, but do not understand where it is or how one goes about entering through it.


WTF is this thing? It's got a little footpad thing on the bottom and some kind of spigot up top. Are you supposed to lay your head down on the bottom part and pour water into your open mouth?


I just though it was funny that this building looks like it has a hat.

Tomorrow is a travel day. Yay, I guess?

Clearly it's meant to be some sort of newfangled outdoor bidet.

Yeah, I thought it was a bidet, too. Loved your thorough analysis of the artwork. That Art History class paid off!

Dear losers (all of you),
It's a watering hole for dogs.
