Madrid

Monday morning we all woke up and hurried to finish getting all our luggage downstairs. It was bitter sweet leaving our little dorm room. We complained about that room for the two weeks we were living in it because it was hot, the beds were hard and we were surrounded by loudest neighbors. Now that it was time to leave and we were walking out the door Audrey and I kept talking about how we wish we could've had one more night there. We had some of the best times hanging out in those little rooms and some of my most fun memories are in there. On the other hand, by this point of the trip I think we were all starting to get worn out and a change of senery helped renew us enough to get us through a couple more days. Our hotel we stayed at in Madrid was very nice and we had an awesome view from our window. After the long bus ride and getting settled in, me and a few other girls walked to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and it was so good! The next morning we woke up early to start our long walk to the Thyssen and Prado museums. I think it's really cool that I get to tell people I've been to these famous museums but unfortunately I'm just not an art person. I tried to appriciate what I was looking at but everything starts looking the same to me after awhile. Wednesday was our last full day in Madrid and we had the whole day to do and explore whatever we wanted, so we went shopping! :) I had so much fun just walking around and not really knowing where we were going, or even how to get back exactly, but just looking around and seeing the "culture".

Early Thursday morning we headed off to the airport to start making our way home. I could not believe the trip was over, and the three weeks had passed in such a blink of the eye. It's been a week since I have been home now and I miss the trip so much already. Us girls all got very close and I can't wait until we get together to all hang out again. Despite the ups and downs, I couldn't have asked for a better Spain family.
