So much has happened over the last week. I would like to give a more thorough update, but I have class in 7 hours, so I am going to run through it quickly. Ok, so on Friday I moved into my new apartment and then took a walk around our "neighborhood" with Evelyn. Except that we ended up walking for like 3 hours all over Madrid. During that time we were stopped by an old Spanish man who talked to us for a long time, but basically said that he is an artist and would like to paint me some time because I am beautiful like the Virgin Mary. Right. Then we went to dinner and a flamenco show.
On Saturday Maria Jose took us to the Royal Palace then I had my first experience at Corte Ingles, which is the biggest store I have ever seen in my life. Then we had a roomie dinner, with Leen, Bernie and Evelyn. It was a lot of fun to get to know them. We went to the Prado on Sunday with Maria Jose, but we only checked out the work of El Greco, Goya and Velazquez, so I definitely want to go back.
On Monday we were craving some American food and decided it would be ok to be a little touristy, so we went to the Hard Rock Cafe. And let me tell you, that was the best burger and fries I have ever tasted (even if it did cost 12 euros.) Then we tried to go see a movie, but we got a little bit lost on the way there and showed up late, and they wouldn't let us in! So today we went clothes shopping (b/c my closet is the barest it's ever been) then we went to see the movie tonight. We saw Scoop in ingles, which was very amusing.
Tomorrow I have class from 10-1, then it is the weekend for me again, haha, pretty sweet. There are so many more museums in Madrid that I want to check out, so that is the plan for my 4 day weekend.
