My day in Madrid!

Yesterday, my host dad Quique (Enrique) took me with him as he went to work so that I could go explore the city of Madrid. In Spain, on Fridays work ends at 3:00pm, so this gave me 5 hours to see as much as I could. I ended up doing a lot, pretty much every major attraction in the city, and everyone was so amazed that I did it all, and on foot! I wanted to walk around because it was the best way for me to figure out where things were, and to experience the city life.

Here are some of the places I went in Madrid:

El Museo Del Prado

  
 La Plaza Mayor

Santa Maria la Real de la Alamundea Cathedral

El Palacio Real

El Parque de Buen Retiro

La Puerta de Alcala

After my day of sightseeing I was quite exhausted and went home for a siesta. That night, the whole family went to a party for the new country club like place that opened in their area. There were over 1000 people there ! It was very fun, lots of tapas and drinks, and everyone had a very nice time. Paula loved the food too.

This is my first weekend in Spain. Who knows what we'll do next.
