Nic Cage and El Prado Museo

Soooooooooo, today we went to El Rastro and then to the Prado Museum. The Prado is this huge art museum in Madrid that houses many famous works by artists including Raphael, El Greco, Rembrandt, Velázquez, and a ton by Goya. Anyway, we were walking around for a few hours (it was my 2 roomies and me). As we were walking toward the exit Rebecca says, "Did you see who just walked past us?" We replied, "No. Who?" "Oh, it was Nicolas Cage." (Mind you, Rebecca is from LA, so seeing famous people is no big thing for her.) We were like, "Well, we want to see!" So, like creepy stalkers, we set out to find him. Right when our search seemed to be in vain, we turned the corner. And what to our wandering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer. Ok, but take out the "miniature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer" part and insert "Nicolas Cage with longer black hair, pale ghostly skin, and black leather pants/boots." Seriously, he looked kind of creepy. His body guard kept eyeing us (I guess we looked like the creepy Americans who might try to take a picture.) However, since we were in a museum there were no pictures allowed, so this experience must live on only in my memory (this pic of Nicolas Cage and his hilarious pose will also aid in that mission.)
