Madrid: A Weekend
Friday night:
- Arrive really late to Cat’s Hostel
- Cool decorations but kind of gross
- Drunk couple tries to break in during the night – fail
Saturday:
- Wake up at the crack of dawn for free breakfast
- Walk around everyyywhere
- Plaza Major-deserted because we are the only ones awake that early
- Park
- Really beautiful and really big-lots of paths, fountains, and funny trees
- Huge lake with boats and humongous goldfish
- Crystal Palace
- Actually it’s glass
- Waterfall in front
- Black swan! What
- Palace and Church
- Big, white, looks like Vienna
- Prado Museum
- Goya, Rubens, etc…
- My favorite: “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Bosch
- The left panel is dedicated to Paradise, with the creation of Eve and the fountain of life, while the right panel shows hell. The middle panel shows the world in lustful abandon.
- "lustful abandon" hahahaha
- Authentic lunch
- Sangria!!!
- First encounter with paella
- Horrifying
- 60 cent wine at El Corte Ingles
- .60 liter of wine + .25 jug of water = best purchase of my entire life
- Weird street performers
- Mickey and Minnie (got a pic)
- Guy with no head
- People that look like stones
- One guy I actually thought was a statue-freaaaaky
- Siesta time
- When in Rome
Saturday night:
- Tapas restaurant
- On the 6th floor of a rando building
- More sangriaaa
- Free shots because everyone loves us
- Flamenco dancing
- Like Irish dancing but with less leg whipping
- Duet and then solos by the guy and girl dancer
- Even MORE sangria
- Too much sangria=early bedtime for all
Sunday:
- Market
- Winds up and down one main street and all the little side streets
- Bought a truck load of scarves
- Leopard scarf=new obsession (wearing right now)
- Lunch in a little square
- Second encounter with paella
- Still horrifying
- DUNKING DONUTS
- Iced coffee has never tasted so good
- Perfect ending to the trip
