Today we had Spanish class again, and I understood what we were learning a little bit better so that was a plus. Taylor and I went to the park again for a run, and I realized that she runs and I jog in slow motion… haha it’s fine. After lunch Taylor and I met a girl from our group, Liz, at the train station and we went into Madrid. We went to the Theatre/Opera House to see if there were any tickets left for the Opera tonight. And after a confusing conversation in Spanglish we got the last 3 tickets! Four hours before productions they sell discounted tickets to young people (those under 30 ha) and we got our tickets 90% off!! So I paid 5 Euros to see an Opera in the Opera House of Madrid! Then we had a few hours to spare so we walked around for a little bit then grabbed some dinner in a café right by the theatre. After that we decided to get something sweet and kept it classy by getting some ice cream from McDonalds before going to the Opera. I liked the opera! It was in English! And it was about Walt Disney! It made me think of Scooter and her love for Disney:] It was called “The Perfect American.” It was way good I liked it. I was actually able to understand what they were saying which was cool, and it was interesting too. It was about the life of Walt Disney and it was way good! Pretty deep for Disney too. I really liked it a lot! I was in a little balcony box thing to the side with a way nice guy named Louis and it was just us two in there, the other two people never came. So he let me sit up by him so I could see better and that was way nice of him. We talked about operas and the United States and Obama ha and Madrid and Spanish and he is from Toledo and that’s where we are going tomorrow so that was cool! It was fun. It was kind of a bummer Taylor, Liz and I weren’t by each other, but for 5 Euros we had zero complaints. But yaa I totally loved it and had a lot of fun! I may have to go see some other shows if they have tickets for 90% the day of!
