Vale pues venga

Madrid was blazing hot but awesome, and we got to rest a little more on this leg. I don´t think we made it out of bed before noon any day here... but we got to experience some city night life, culture and see a lot of my old stomping grounds. I think I also ate enough Spanish tortilla sandwiches to feed a small country. We got to botellón with our vino y frescos, salsa dance and drinkmojitos in a cuban club (Andrea CANNOT follow!! haha ;), visit my old favorite Irish pub, la Universidad Nebrija, and the old apartment in the ghetto!

Our trips to the Prado and Reina Sofia museums were awesome (Dalí, Goya, Velázquez, El Greco, Murillo, Miró, Caravaggio, Picasso, Rembrant, Raphael, Tiziano, Tintoretto... ) and I think we were in the Prado for a good 5 hours. Thank God for marathon legs!!

People did think we were crazy on runs though, which we did mainly between 10 and midnight at Buen Retiro and La Cuña Verde de la Latina by my old place, but we weren´t the only crazies. We got to tour a little on the runs too! We ran (or dodged/played frogger)f rom Plaza Mayor through Sol down a packed calle Alcalá last night through Plazas Independencia and Cibeles (INSANELY packed with people on a Friday night) to Retiro and back. We finished up with a stroll from Sol to El Palacio Nacional and la Catedral de la Almudena at 2am. It was beautiful lit up at night! And now we are off to Segovia, home of one of the coolest castles in the world WHICH just happens to be the one Walt Disney used as the basis for Cindarella´s castle in Disney World. more pics to come so keeping checkin!
