Sunday- Today I went back to the center of Madrid to shop :). I had a lot of fun (well of course, it's shopping! Who wouldn't? Haha!) but it was SUPER hot! When I mean hot, I mean 102F. Gahh! It's been like that all week. Anyway, I got to go shopping by myself for about 2 hours, and then I met up with Allyson and her friend Ave to go to lunch. Ave is actually from Astonia! (Which I didn't even know was a country... thank you elementary school! ;) Apparently America is known for their poor school education, oh well, I can tipe goodly enuf. ANYWAY we went to a really fancy restaurant in Madrid, and for 12 bucks we got a 3 course meal. Although I have a small stomach, so I ended up throwing half of it away because I was full... Don't judge me! I already feel bad, okay! I would have gotten a box, but they don't do those in Europe. After lunch we started waking to a park that was about a mile away. On the way there was a little farmer's market type thing, but with all hand made stuff! So it was really cool to walk down and see everything that people made, from jewelry to leather things, to wooden games. About half way, we had to stop at the closest pub (which happened to be Irish!) because we felt like spongebob in Sandy's dome without water.
You get the picture (basically every time I refer to doing something outside, this is how I felt when I stepped outside LOL). After cooling down, we finally made it the rest of the way to the park. The park was so cool! It was like Sentenial park, but x100 on steroids! We visited a museum/exhibit type thing. Now I had just walked for like 30 minutes in the beating sun, I am tired, I am in a museum exhibit thing with AC, I want to sit down because I am tired, right? Makes sense! I don't see benches, no benches! Okay, I will just sit in a corner, where I am in nobody's way (mainly because there is like no one in there) to wait for Allyson and Ave to finish looking around. But NOOO, when I sit down, this security dude comes over, glares at me and motions for me to stand up. I WAS SO CONFUSED! Apparently you aren't allowed to sit down in museum exhibits..... HAHA - tip for the future! :) Then we visited the Crystal Palace, which was cool! And just walked around the park. (At this point, I was scared to sit down anywhere!) O_O
Cherry Tree- national tree
Kilometer 0! This is where everything like the highways are based off of in Spain. It is the center!
Standing in the center of Spain!
International LGBT day. I think.
So much food! Spanish meat balls and Paella.
The bank of Spain
Puerta de Madrid
The "no sitting because I said so, not because there is a sign" museum/exhibit.
Art is really interesting to some people. I just don't get it. But in case you are an art lover- here you go!
Oh good! I can lay down for sure!
Okay, there were one of these in Alicante where I was staying. Since it looks like a goose and a rooster, i named it a gooster! It's a gooster!
Cool shrub bush things all the way down!
Trap door..... Whaaaaaaaat
It's the craft market!
Okay, I asked for a basket of fries. I though I was going to get, you know, one of those small baskets with a handful of fries in it. But NO, I get a freaking bucket of French fries! How am I suppose to eat this all? HAHAHAHA
Tree is on fire!!! Ahhhh!! Oh wait, nope, just kidding, it's just the sunset :)
