Morning in the Park

This morning Alex and I met up with our friend Liz at the park, el Parque de Retiro. The park is even bigger than I originally thought! We met on the steps of a huge statue by a small lake and walked around for a couple hours. It was so nice just to walk and talk and it's a beautiful day here in Spain, per usual. We saw El Prado, one of the most famous museums in Spain, and walked near the downtown area. There are a lot more tourists just a few block from where I am-- it was nice to hear more people speak English! After our walk, Alex and I stopped at a little shop in the park to drink a Coke and have a snack. Perfect morning :)

Whenever you order a drink, the waiter brings you a snack (tapa) too. YUM! Four glasses of wine for seven Euro-- so great!

This is where Alex and I met Liz

There are stray cats all over Spain, not sure why that is exactly!
