Samdrine and her boyfriend David came to visit me! ...a night on the town.
Parque del Retiro... I don't know why Micky Mouse was there.
David's a really cool kid, and it was awesome to see Sandrine again. We talked ourselves hoarse after only one day. She's the best.
Puerta de Alcala.
In el Rastro, Madrid's huge fela market Sunday mornings. My cell phone got stolen, but I was still happy because I was with Sandrine and David!
We went and saw a Real Madrid soccer game. The soccer players here are hella famous, and Real Madrid has players like Beckham, Ronaldo, Zidane...
Little tour around Madrid... Puerta del Sol, Plaza de España, Plaza Mayor.
We also went to Toledo! One of the most precious cities I've been to in my life.
Later that week in went to Sevilla (in the South of Spain) for Semana Santa.
They have these procesion things, a bunch of differnet ones, each representing a different religious theme of Easter. It at first made me think of the Ku Klux Klan, but once I got over that I thought it was a pretty cool tradition.
Me with my host brother Jorge and my host cousins Raquel and Beatriz, fun twin girls.
My host uncle gave me his guitar! He had two and he never uses them so he gave this one to me since he knew I'm learning hwo to play! I was so excited. I still suck though, but at least now I have something to practice with.
Some pics of Valdemoro...
I'm sure Katy will understand the full meaning of the pic of this fountain in the middle of a lake... it snowed here not too long ago!
One day I decided to procrastinate and made a self-potrait of my self in like a 3D collage sense.
