2/6/13


Right after class this morning we came home, dropped off our stuff, and picked up our bocadillos Blanca made for us and we headed into Madrid. We went to the Palacio because they have the changing of the guard once a month, and today happened to be the first Wednesday of the month.  We saw the guards in formation inside the palace courtyard area, then they had a parade type thing with all the horses and a carriage and stuff so that was fun to see. After that Taylor and I walked around and shopped around a little bit. In one of the souvenir shops I made friend with the salesman ha he is from Venezuela and is named Peter ha. So that was good we got to practice some of our Spanish. After that we walked by a demonstration going on in Puerto Del Sol so that was kinda interesting, lots of policemen everywhere. After that we went to the Theatre to see if the other people ended up getting the last minute tickets for the Opera and they did! So I was excited for them, they are going to see The Perfect American too. On our way home Taylor and I made another friend haha his name was Geonni Yani. Try saying that 5 times fast. Overall it was a really great day.
