Another relaxed day in the 100 degree heat.

I didn't take many pictures, but here is the throne room:

This evening, I was surprised by larger than usual crowds by my hotel (and lots of police.) I later discovered that there was a public concert by a popular avant-garde Flemenco artist in the plaza at the end of my block!
I start my journey home tomorrow at about 1pm Madid time, and hopefully will be home about 18 hours later (around midnight Madison time.)
