Day Seventeen: Madrid

Today we went by metro to the zoo.  The zoo is in the middle of a very large wooded park.  Lila was excited to see some of the zoo babies.

The zoo was quite large and we spent our entire morning wandering around looking at its variety of exotic wildlife. We watched a dolphin show which we thought was more Sea World than Vancouver Aquarium.  Alan liked the white rhinos.
Some of us were feeling a little under the weather, so it was a pretty quiet day.  Alan and Bruce went to a park near the Prado museum. This park had quite a large artificial lake with many people attempting to row rented rowboats.
Lots of German soccer fans around today as there is a championship match here tonight.  So there was intermittent singing and chanting on the streets. We still haven't figured out all of the road signs, as we have no idea what this sign means.
