Bilbao and Madrid

After 3 days of non-stop eating in San Sebastian, we drove back west to spend a half-day in Bilbao before catching our early evening flight to Madrid. In Bilbao we went to the Guggenheim. The exhibits were some of the best I've seen on the trip. The Murakami exhibit alone made the trip to Bilbao worth it. While in Madrid we visited the Palacio Real de Madrid, and saw works at both the Prado and Reina Sophia museums. The Prado was the highlight of our short stay in Madrid. Here are some photos:

On our drive to Bilbao, Ter got pulled over for speeding and the backseat passengers got ticketed for not wearing seat belts.
