Take your pick
This day was Sunday, so again, we went to church. In this case, Salvi and Juan Carlos' church:

The church was very multicultural. The pastor was from Egypt, the organist was from Nigeria, most of the congregation were British, and the service was conducted in English. After the service was over, we all got together on the back patio for refreshments, which to my surprise, included beer and wine! We also met, and spent some time talking with, a very nice couple - she was Spanish, and he was German.
After church, we went to lunch, and on the way, I spotted this restaurant. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture, but I snagged this image from Google Street View:
A little touch of home
Back at the house, I was puttering around on Google Maps, and I spotted something interesting - a Museum of Illusions. I decided on the spur of the moment to go see it, and to make the adventure more adventurous, I decided to take myself there on the Madrid subway.
When I got there, I discovered that it was a very popular attraction, and I wouldn't be able to get in for another hour. So I killed time, sitting around people watching, until it was my turn to go in.
It was a small museum, and many of the optical illusions on display were ones I've seen before. But there were a few very interesting items:
Where's the rest of me?
I'm beside myself
Way too many of me
Amazing what you can do with mirrors, isn't it?
Here I am, standing straight and tall... on a cockeyed angle:
I have no explanation for all those white dots in that picture... In any case, it was actually the room that was cockeyed, not me:
I asked a fellow traveller to take this picture of me hanging from the ceiling:
Well, okay, I was actually standing on the floor...
