I realize some of you are probably only here for the pictures... in which case shame on you, but that's something I would totally do too so no worries =] But nonetheless I'll keep this short so you don't have to scroll down a bunch (which is how I judge the length of blogs and therefore whether or not I'm going to read them.)
I've absolutely loved my first week here. Madrid is a gorgeous city and I'm in constant awe of the buildings, statues, fountains, parks, and people everywhere I go. This weekend I went to the weekly market in La Latina, where hundreds of vendors line the street and sell ridiculously cheap things, for instance, bufandas (scarves) for 1 Euro. It was like no other market I'd experienced before. From there, a group of us went to this tiny shop that specializes in "chocolate con churros." Each person orders 6 churros and has a saucer of melted chocolate for dipping/drinking like hot chocolate. Delicious. I don't even know what would happen if America had something like this, but they're very popular here.
So I think one of my favorite parts about being here is, as of Friday night's sushi adventure (documented on FB), I completely understand the metro. I've never paid attention to how subways work because I've always been led by someone else, unitl now =] Such a good feeling. K so check out mi apartamento! I just decorated my room yesterday, so depending on who you are, if you look closely at my wall maybe you can find yourself! Thanks for reading and I'll blog again soon <3
