Spain has been having the same weird weather patterns that we experience in the States. Yesterday it felt so cold and today it was warm enough during the day that you didn't need a coat. Our hostel group (Trinh, Katie, Theresa, Vanessa, and Tiffany) all went to explore the city again on foot. Everywhere you go there are quaint walkways and elaborate architecture that is rarely seen back home. It's so beautiful here!
I did manage to run into the Irish couple who helped me on the subway today. I regret that I didn't exchange contact info with them because they were the nicest people ever and I actually kind of miss them. We walked into stores, shoes stores and the supermarket where we found unique items like crustless bread, ham flavored chips, and hello kitty cookies. El Parque de Retiro was probably the highlight of the day. It was different from our parks at home in that it seemed more lively, filled with entertainment from street performers and venders, and families and couples just enjoying the afternoon in the park. The kids were definitely engrossed in all the activities. The only offside to the day was that we failed at getting into a discoteca for free. We were to cheap to pay the entrance fee. I know the Spanish stay up late and eat dinner around 10pm but I still found it surprising that the discotecas didn't open until 12am.
That's it for now! I'm the last one to sleep, and I have to get up in 4 hrs because we're headed to Cordoba!
