Adios amigos :(


Day 3:
We woke up and headed straight to the Reina Sophia. I was really exited to go, but honestly it wasn't my favorite museum. The definite highlight was The Guernica by Picasso. That painting really makes you think. I've said it once and I'll say it again: SO MUCH BETTER IN REAL LIFE.





After the museum, we decided we wanted to spend some time in the Retiro, which is the big central park of Madrid. Well.. we ended up spending the rest of the day in the park because it was SO nice. It was THE most beautiful park I've ever been to. It was very green, and we had a blue sky day. There were musicians scattered around, and a comedian, and some longboarders, and we even saw a Spanish futbol game! And the big lake was full of people in little row boats. It actually made me miss Moab something serious when I saw all the people rowing.
I could've stayed there in that park forever, it was a perfect day. But alas, we had to head back to the airport eventually.
Ugggghhh airports. Flight got cancelled, twice. So of course they offered us a free snack. And by free snack, I mean a "Jamon y Queso Sandwich". It was purely thrilling. We were soooooo tired by this point we just gave up all hope of acting normal and we acted like goofballs all night till we finally got to board. By the time we got home we had missed our train, so we had to wait for a bus for quite a while, and got back at 3 a.m. It's ok, it was worth every minute. VIVA MADRID!

I think the thing I'll miss the most about Spain is the fact that we got honked at/whistled at/kissed at by the Spanish men constantly. I mean seriously, I didn't look in the mirror for three days and they STILL think I'm attractive. Those American boys have a lesson or two to learn from the Spanish. Haha, But really, though I won't miss the sour yogurt, warm milk, and fish filled food one bit, I will miss Spain. I learned a lot and really fell in love with the place.
