a bunch of chicks who painted madrid red, white and blue

Nicola and Kelsey came to Madrid Friday. While a part of me was mildly concerned that I ought to be spending the weekend studying for midterms, the better half of me was so ready to explore the city with some of my awesome friends from school. We took the city by storm, albeit very touristly. We went to the Reina Sophia museum, el Prado, el Palacio Real and the cherry on top of the weekend was the bullfight on Sunday. Yikes. It was not somehting I can say I necessarily enjoyed but for some sick reason it did not bother me, maybe I just was thinking about it as a cultural thing, even though it is an industry much supported by tourists these days.We left feeling a little more cultured.

Yesterday we came back to Toledo way later than expected (nothing is reliable sometimes here, not even the printed train schedule) and I was like 30 minutes late to class.
