Madrid.

This city is amazing. it reminds me of a european chicago. it's interesting. 

The hotel is super nice. it's very cutsies. it has one of those butt washer things. and clear doors to the bathroom, makes me uncomfortable. 

We walked around the beautiful city today. Got a little turned around, but it was amazing how easily we found our way, it was like I just knew where to go. It was such a fabulous little day. 

I did manage to find a few gems in the bunch that are really good company. :)

 

ordered food in spanish. payed in euros. so that was cool. 

There's this awesome sandwich place right around the corner from the hotel. they are famous for their 100 different creations. I got number 66. it was sooo delicious. 

We took a bus tour of the city just as the sun was setting. it was so beautiful. saw the royal palace, all the amazing architecture. i was so exhausted though, i was drifting in and out of sleep throughout the drive around. 

Grabbed another bite to eat at the sandwich place, got our phones, had a group meeting. 

Tomorrow we have breakfast early in the morning, a walking tour of madrid.( i have to pick out my outfit tongiht, my boots, which are NOT worn in yet gave the bottoms of my feet blisters. how is that possible??) then we're going to this really famous art museum, Prado. then we have the rest of the day for free time, walking around, checking out the cool stores and little bistros around. 

It was sunny, clear skies, not a cloud in site today. about 55 degrees. wore a light jacket and my flats around the city. it was so perfect. 

I am in love already!!
