The trip to Madrid itself was beautiful.
We settled in our hostel around 2pm, and was able to start wandering about.
We went to the 8th floor of a nearby mall to check out the view.
Funnily enough, the mall also had a section called "Taste of America," and we all laughed at the food it featured. And then got a bit homesick :/
We were pretty stubborn about lunch, because we really wanted paella. (We didn't end up getting anymore paella after that first day in Barcelona.) Unfortunately, the cheapest paella we could find was no less than 14,00€ (boooo), so we settled on a 3-course lunch deal for 10,00€.
Thinking that I'd lose weight on this trip was such a funny naive thought.
Grilled ham and mushroom with bread (not shown) and tapas! And of course, sangria.
Yum.
And then we walked some more.
I swear this looks like the Brandenburg Tor, so I just kept calling it that.
Then we went to Park Retiro next.
Pretty.
It's a huge park haha.
Spot someone familiar?
Oh, Miriam.
The park even had a playground.
Though we had no idea how to use any of the things it contained.

Exhibit A: Erm.
Exhibit B: Actually, that's probably how you use this one.
Exhibit C: Definitely not the way you use this one.
Then we went to grab some dinner before going back to the hostel.
Cool gecko.
We walked through Plaza Mayor on our way back, and it was so beautiful lit up!
And there were sooo many people in Plaza del Sol. Holy crap.
But it's all so very festive.
