Ok, so Kapital wasn' the only thing we saw in Madrid. I found some cheap flights one day and asked Vera if she wanted to go. One of her friends, Ilaria, from Milano is studying just out of the city. So we went for a cheap weekend! We stayed in Alcala de henares, the home town of don Quijote! The first day in Madrid was St. Patrick's day.. so with my Connell Irish roots I had to celebrate! What's wrong with these people? Madrid doesn't celebrate half as much as we do! So, we wore our green anyway and headed to and Irish pub named.... O'Connell! How cool! So,we had our Irish coffee which is way better than the green beer (or lack of) and continued visiting the city. We saw the very center of Spain, the Prado Museum (2nd largest art museum ever), a Corte Ingles the size of Bloomingdales, Parque buen retiro, the Rostra (sunday market) and anything else you could imagine inbetween. We even went to a male volleyball game! Vera and I had a blast!
