9:00 am: Already been awake for 4 hours ugggh. Britt and I woke up at 5 am to get on the metro. I said goodbye to her as she got off to get on the shuttle bus for the airport. She's flying to Madrid and I'm taking the train. If all goes well, we'll end up in Madrid at the same time and meet at the hostel. I'm on the train now so hopefully her flight leaves on time. It looks like it might rain (just our luck). Hope to get a lot of sightseeing done and then we're meeting Britt's parents tonight for a Flamenco show which I'm really looking forward to.
8:00 pm: I got into Madrid half an hour early. The train ride was really nice. It was a nice new train and since i was on it around 9am it was full of business people going to work. They were playing the proposal on the train. It was in Spanish but I got the gist of what was going on in the movie. It was really cold when I arrived this morning. I found the hostel easily and threw my luggage in the holding room and set out exploring. I did some window shopping and saw the Opera house, the royal palace (saw the changing of the guards), the cathedral, and Plaza Mayor. I was on my way back to the hostel to see if Britt and Nat were there and i found them sitting at a table outside eating delicious treats. We checked into our room and did some sightseeing. We had a picnic lunch and then met up with Britt's parents. We went to a bar to watch the second half of Spain's world cup match. The atmosphere at the bar was awesome. At one point, there was a chocolate shop down the street on fire and no one got up to look at it. The game was much more important lol. After the game (which Spain lost) we walked around some more. We saw Plaza D'Espanya and explored a really cool Egyptian temple in the park (the stones were brought from Egypt and they built in in the park). Me and Britt have just gotten back to the hostel and we are getting ready to meet up with the others for our Flamenco show.
