The Garden of Earthly Delights

We've found Rick Steves' Guide to Spain and Portugal to be excellent at recommending the best highlights to hit and a fantastic help in deciding between destinations. (Steves' has a show on PBS and several other guides for Europe.) In Madrid, there are two key things he recommends: the Prado Museum and the Palace Real. I picked the Prado to do something "touristy" in Madrid before we left.

I had no idea what a treat I was in for. Though there are many other things in this museum that are quite worth seeing, there is one in particular that I was surprised and thrilled to see, that I would have gone quite a ways out of my way to see...
