Plus today is a holiday in Spain, el Dia de la Hispanidad, which=no work, no school, sleeping in, and eating a ton of food. I woke up this morning at 11:30, had a super delicious breakfast of toast, yogurt, and the best pear I have ever eaten in my life, then promptly went back to my bed. I played this game called Sporcle with Lindsey (it’s a listing trivia type of game online- you should check it out!) for literally three hours until lunchtime. We just sat in my teeny bed together in our pajamas and laughed the whole time. Note to Sophie- I knew all of the countries in Disney Epcot. I did you proud, sister! Anyway, lunch is later on holidays, kind of like Thanksgiving where we have a late lunch around 3 or 4, at least in my family we do. We had this super yummy comfort food soup with bread and the closest thing to steak that I’ve had since I came to Spain. And I freaking LOVE steak. So obviously, it was delicious. I had another pear, probably the second best in my life, and now am planning on taking a nap. Gosh dang I love Spain.
Later tonight...
Lindsey and I FINALLY got up and around and headed out to meet up with Pam and Alex. The streets were so empty and the city was totally dead-- everyone else obviously is inside eating and drinking and sleeping just like we were all day! We went to the Real Madrid (the soccer team for those of you who don't know) Stadium. We couldn't go inside but we walked around and went into the store to check out the jerseys and other things they have for sale there. I decided I really want a jersey and I'll have to get it before i go to a game. That's something that's definitely on my bucket list here in Madrid!
On the way home Lindsey and I were talking about yummy american foods that we miss and I got the WORST craving for a candy bar! Since it's a holiday most of the stores were closed... But on the third try we went to a store right down the street from our casa and totally splurged on snack food: gum, snicker bars, m&m's, ice cream bars... and the best part? SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS. Oh my gosh, SO GOOD. I pretty much just ate the whole bag. YUM.
Now I'm about to start on some homework for my art history class then its off to bed!
