With some friends waiting for the metro
My roommates and I in front of a large fountain in one of the cities many parks
The Temple of Debod: an Egyptian temple in Madrid
The park behind el Palacio Real
Taking a little break to sit on the grass across from the palace
We met an adorable little boy named Santio who couldn't get enough of Kaity
Us standing in front of El Palacio Real. Look how tiny we look in front of it!
We went inside and walked through the palace, but we weren't allowed to take any pictures.
Every room was ornately decorated and gilded with gold and silver. There were rooms for everything you can imagine, like conversing, getting dressed, smoking, etc. Every room had massive crystal chandeliers that were my favorite part of the palace. There was also a large chapel inside that was made up of frescos and different kinds of marble and a huge organ that was also very impressive.
The Cathedral of Madrid, across from the palace
El Plaza Mejor
The most important plaza in Madrid, with this statue in the center. It is surrounded by apartment buildings with cute restaurants all around the bottom, which makes for a very nice place for lunch or dinner. It's a very touristy area though so things are a bit overpriced.
My friends and I before going out for Kaity's 20th birthday!
