Today the whole group went to Madrid. It was my first time to be in MADRID and I am obsessed! We rode the train there with the group, had a little tour by Carlos, ate lunch and then everyone left. Sara and I decided to stay and explore la ciudad. This is a pretty much a permanent vacation and I do not hate it. We saw the puerta del sol, the royal palace, plaza mayor, and lots more. Madrid should win some kind of award for best shopping because they for sure have it. During the month of January there are "Rebajas" (which means sales) everywhere. I'm talking 50% off or more. We went to KFC and got a huge fountain coke. So American, love it. Definitely people-watched for a while at the plaza and I've decided that Europeans are fascinating and have way better style than people back West. Hope it rubs off on me. We left Madrid and rode the train back to Alcalá that night. We thought we had a close call with getting mugged or maybe the guy was just running past us and hit us on accident? What a day. I'll be going back to the capital tomorrow.

Discotecas & Madrid
Last night we went to a few different discotecas! They were so much fun. I love Spanish people. It's a lot different than going out in America. Not much really happens until 12:30 and people stay out until 5 or later! One guy in my class stayed out until 8 a.m. Is this real life?

I so remember those disco nights in Paris. Eating dinner at 9 and start dancing at midnight made for a long day at work the next day but DO IT. Such good memories!
