Hotel Silken Puerta Castilla Madrid

... open late, the Ballet performed, all the musicals played, all the art galleries were open late and it was all free! Literally thousands upon thousands of people flooded the streets of Madrid to celebrate this free night of music and arts. Though the metro was extremely crowded, Katherine, Sarah and I (along with their two Dutch roommates) took the metro down to a central area of Madrid and walked around, admiring all the late night festivities. We ended up ...

... could say. We had no idea since we always talked to her in Spanish! Nevertheless, she got along with my mom swimmingly, and Jon and I looked at each other thinking, "What in the world has she heard us talking about in our rooms??" Her English was obviously not perfect but she was well understood by all those at the table. Maruja served an unbelievable looking and tasting dish of Paella that WOW'd my mom finally, and hopefully Chad. She also served some slices ...

... How the time flew. We soon headed out back to the hostel, and chucked our bags on our beds. We both decided to use the internet, and Dylan had become a pro and sniffing out cheap internet cafes. I got my hair cut at a local parlor first and Dylan went to the cafe. Im guessing that "not to short on the sides" means something else because my hair was not as I imagined it after the Russian lady was finished. I liked it at first but when Dylan said "you look weird ...

... it might be a good idea to spend a year in a different country being a teacher's assistant so that I could figure out whether I wanted to be a teacher. Plus, I wanted to improve my Spanish skills so that if I did come back to the US to teach Spanish I would have a good grasp of the language. So I came to Spain hoping to learn and wanting to teach. What I actually got was quite different. I walk twenty minutes to a random bus stop on Monday, Tuesday, and ...

... The gardens behind it are gogreous. There were a lot of coupless, and a lot of PDA going on in there. We headed back to the hotel and grabbed lunch. After lunch, I took a bit of a nap, and then it was time to get ready for the bullfight. I was actually looking foward to it even though I knew they killed the bull. But I thought they killed him quickly at the end. We got to the bullring and everyone was so excited. Our ...

... d´Orsay, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Champs D´ellysse, Arc de triumph. Strolled the wooden bridge on a soft evening enjoying the ambiance of groups on the bridge with their picnics of bread and wine and cheese. We had decided to do that on our last night, but unfortunately the weather turned and it was a bit cool and wet. The Louvre is absolutely amazing as is the d'Orsay. I hadn't realized there was so much wonderful sculpture in the Louvre. We had wanted to ...
