So far, not many pictures of Spain. Since my last update we have been having a chill time in Madrid. With the extra days in Madrid we don't have a whole lot planned so we do an activity each day.
After I finished writing my last blog in the common room at hostel numbero uno, I saw a guy in an Olympic shirt on the computer next to me. I asked him if he was from Vancouver and funny thing is, he is from North Vancouver as well and went to CapilanoU. We departed after chatting for a bit and for the next 2 days he was a 5th member to our crew for going to the Prado and Reina Sofia museums.
Our third day in Madrid was moving day. We had to change hostels, that was most of the day but good thing it was cool out with a bit of rain. After we moved in we went to the street market. It was like the chinatown night market but minus the food and a whole lot more nic nacks and cheap goods. Now we are in the new hostel and it seems like a whole new Madrid with the switch in location.
Today we slept in even though our small room is like a little boiler. After dragging our selves out of bed Ells, Paige, and I decided to explore the city. We went around town and did some shopping. Along the way home we walked by a huge group of people waving flags and making a whole lot of noise in the middle of the street. Naturally we joined in and waved our flags. Turns out it was for the transit strike going on in Spain.Oooops, at least it was fun at the time and we did feel like locals!
Missing the cool crisp Canadian air in Vancouver, and excited to go home in 3 days. Tomorrow we are taking a day trip to Toleto. Until then, that's all I have!
