As you already know... I HAVE EXPLORED! Go me. Also, laziness (maybe actually jet lag?) lost its iron grip on me and I will now show you pictures! Get excited!

¡Mi dormitorio! (My room!) That green thing in the corner
is a turtle. Her name is Georgia. She belongs to my 12
year old sister, Nautica. |

What you see is the view I have every morning on my way to the
metro. It is also half of the famous "Torres" Buildings. They are
symbols of modern Madrid and, as you can see, are slanted. |
 |
Real men. Freaked me out. Oh, this is also Plaza de Sol
aka ground Zero for Madrid (all streets start here). |
 |
I don't remember what that building is but all the confused
looking people are classmates. |
 |
Plaza Mayor. It's a big deal. (I don't really know why except
there was a war here.) |
 |
If Spaniards know nothing else, they definitely know
their sweets. |
 |
| Even their street performers are classy! |
 |
| Book Store. In the middle of the street. My kinda place. |
 |
That is a churro dipped in melted chocolate. What were you saying? I couldn't hear you over the symphony in my mouth. |
 |
| Expensive hotel. |
 |
| Mi Querida, Rebekah. |
 |
| Bank of Spain. Also a big deal. |
 |
| FRIENDS! |
Well, umm... I don't know what else you want from me. I guess I can tell you that I have also been to El Parque Ritiro and the Prado Museum. What's so cool about living in Madrid, is that it's kind of like living in Washington DC. EVERYTHING is significant. Even the things that don't look significant? Yeah, those too. For example, the building I go to school in? A converted palace. No biggie.
Maybe I will get better about documenting my trip and telling you about the places that I go as I go there... but I make no promises. ¡Besos!
