Madrid I

4/1 - Madrid - On Friday we traveled to Madrid. It took a car ride from Ceceda to Nava, a bus to Oviedo, a train ride to Madrid, and a subway to get where we wanted to go. The train ride was really fascinating. Over the course of 5 hours, the terrain of Spain changed from the mountainous and humid region of Asturias, to the dry and flat climate of Madrid.

We arrived at the Sol subway stop... which is the mid center of the city. It was Madness. You couldn't take 2 steps without tripping over someone who was ready for a party. It was Friday, and everyone was outside. There we found Kayleigh and her friend Kate. We stopped by our hostel which was very nice... nicer then we wanted.. but everything else was booked. Apparently, when it's nice weather in Madrid people from all over Europe decide to take a weekend trip to Madrid. After stopping at our Hostel, we wandered around the city, got Falafel at a local vegetarian restaurant, and got a tour of the classiest places in Rome, including a chain bar called 100 Montaditos, where you get dinner and a beer for 2 euros.
