18-20 March - Madrid

From Segovia we drove south to El Escorial (just outside of Madrid). It is a massive structure housing a monastery, royal palace, museum, and school.

Then we headed down to Madrid.
The Royal Palace of Madrid:
The cathedral outside the Royal Palace:
Accordionist playing for Alec while we waited for Palace tickets...
(Alec really liked dancing to the music, and I think the accordion man appreciated the "interactive" audience!)
Peacocks wandering the palace grounds:

Plaza Mayor

On Sunday we got to attend church in a building that shared ground with the Madrid temple! It was quite a treat :)
...Davin really wanted to go in!
Alec really wanted to jump into the fountains...
Beautiful gardens-
What a wonderful place!
