Yeah, they're located just off Fuencarral, a few minues from Gran Via. Another 10 minutes or so to the Prado, a few more to south to Sofia Reina (OMG! They have dozens of Miró and Juan Gris, one of my favs), or a few more minutes walking in the other direction to Plaza del Sol. ¡Me encanta! :loveya:

Almodóvar, as in the film maker? "¡Átame!" ;)

Vesuvio is just a few meters from City Lights on Columbus Ave. They're practically next door to each other.

"Midnight Cowboy" is an amazing film. Dustin played the character "Ratso" so well it's as if he WAS Ratso. Yeah, I LOVED that pitiful character.

You surprise me. I did not think you are a Midwesterner. I guess I am limited by my own stereotypology. Shame on me. :spank:

Sorry to get back to this conversation so late, but my portuguese lesson/conversation ended up lasting 2 hours (hard to do this sort of thing by phone). I need to spend at least this amount of time to remain fluent. Often when I am posting here on DU I am also doing something else at the same time, but foreign language practice requires 100% of my energy and attention. As for museums and art, they are my passions. All the women in my family are professional artists, and a few of the men as well. My earliest childhood memories are of Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History, and dozens of other museums and galleries.
