Halloween in Madrid

Hola,

I went to Madrid for Halloween weekend. It was a 5 day weekend since I have Fridays off and Monday and Tuesday were free days because of the holiday. I stayed with two other English assistants, John and Liz. They were fantastic hosts and took me out several times. Going out in Madrid is a bit different than in A Coruna. We would go to a friend's house and have a few drinks, take the last train downtown, then go to a plaza near the bars we were going to, and then to the bars and clubs. This made for some long nights and days filled with sleep.

Sunday we didn't go out, so Monday was a normal day. We went to the big park, Parque Buen Retiro, and had a picnic. Then Liz and I went and looked at art at the Museo de Prado. Halloween night was so much fun! I dressed up as a cook! One night, I can't remember which, Gabriela cooked us a fantastic dinner. I had a fantastic long weekend in Madrid. Thank you to my new friends: John, Liz, Sarah, Glen, Chris, Luis, and Gabriela.

I did take some photos in Madrid, but my camera has decided that it does not want to work anymore. This will be the end of photos until I am able to find a replacement.

An especially big Thank You to John and Liz for hosting me and being such amazing people!

Until Next Time,
