Unfortunately, I skipped it. So today I went back on my own to wander around and see all the art. I was mostly motivated to go by the opportunity to see &#8220;Guernica,&#8221; Pablo Picasso&#8217;s most famous painting, and I wasn&#8217;t disappointed. I had seen pictures of it many times before, but I was caught off guard by how large it is in real life. The damn thing is practically an entire wall. I spent lots of time contemplating the Salvador Dali paintings as well. There&#8217;s something eerie, yet subtly familiar about them that makes it hard to look away. It reminded me of how people described the experience of being on dmt. So&#8230; was Dali a druggy? Come to think of it, the whole cubism section could easily have been drug-inspired as well.<\/p>\n<p>I spent about two and half hours at the museum in total, and I&#8217;m thinking of going back again during this trip. I&#8217;m also glad I went alone. Not that everyone else isn&#8217;t great, but it made my experience more reflective and personal. Moral of the trip? Don&#8217;t do drugs. Unless you want to be the next Pablo Picasso.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0743-300x69.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13889 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0743-300x69-300x69.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"69\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a week ago, Michael and Savannah planned a cultural activity to the incredible Museo Reina Sofia.
