The last week felt sooo long (in a good way), but I can't believe its week two already!! A lot of my trip is hard to explain to people... Jobie and I just meander around different parts of Madrid, shopping, window shopping, eating, taking in the city, and trying the various sangrias and wines (hey, its part of the culture!). This week though we do have class Mon- Thurs. (last week we had Thurs off classes for a festival.)
Sunday (yesterday), Jobie and I went to Plaza Mayor and surveyed the market there. It was mostly old coins and monies, which we have no interest in. So it was finally time to actually SHOP! The shops close by the time we're out of school at 1-ish til late afternoon for a siesta, but it was Sunday and the shops stay open and just close early. We finallllyyy got Ronaldo jerseys, after checking many stores to see who has the cheapest (not something I am normally good at). I didn't purchase much else, we just browsed... Spain fashion is incredibly different. Denim is extremely in here, which I'm not sure if I like... Faded denim everything from vests to pants is not my thing. We then ate at this awesome Italian restaurant where we're convinced we had the best sangria yet.
Today, we had class and then a walking tour around Madrid with the university. The tour was a little long (3 hrs, and no one was paying attention), but I did get to see even more of the gorgeous city. I get to live here for SEVEN weeks!!! :)
