Today we planned to take east. We had seen all the sights we wanted to see and since it was going to be around 95 out, we thought it would be nice to go to the park. We first got breakfast at a bakery in Puerta del Sol that Alison had her eye on for the last few days. After that we walked to Retiro Park which is right next to the Prado. The park had some interesting statues, lots of trees and shade, tons of street performers and musicians, and a sweet lake where you could rent row boats. We rented one and had it for 45 minutes to cruise around the lake whcih was a lot of fun. We both rowed for a little (Alison put her 5 minutes in) and we called out whatever nautical terms we could think of as we rowed.
After the park we found a Mexican restaurant near our hotel to have lunch at. We went back to the hotel where to relax for a little where Alison got a little sick. Fortunately she felt better after we napped for a bit. For dinner we went back to The Wok restaurant we had been to before which was delicious.
Now were packing up and getting ready for our 3:45 am wake up to get to the airport in time for our flight to Lisbon. Excited for portugal, not so much for the early plane.
