El sábado era el día fuerte de la visita, ya que al disponer de todo el día se puede hacer una buena planificación. Despues de desayunar en el hotel, salimos temprano, primero paramos a sacarnos unas fotos en la famosa Plaza de España. El dia, como era temprano estaba un poco frio todavia, per…

I woke up at 7:30am and I had a generous breakfast as today I would need lots of energy. I also drank as much as posible as I know the temperature was going to be high. Then I starting puting some clothes on. Light clothes as the heat will be really strong. Before leaving, I checked my photo equipm…

MADRID So there I am, last night of my 10 day trip to France and Spain with my friends from High School Spanish club.  I was the ripe old age of 18 and bummed that most of the other kids in the group wanted to simply spend the last night in the hotel playing cards.  Our guide (who was in…

Being in Madrid was a bit of a suprise for me but it works out well.  I had believed for the past week or so that my flight to Dublin was in the morning, but it's not, it is actually at night so I have all day here to get things done.  Mostly shopping.  I hate shopping, especially gi…
