madrid

we were already in love with the spanish culture. so starting off the trip in the capitol of spain was the perfect beginning.

we got to meet carolyn's friend, adrian {a.k.a. adrianito} and his parents who were so kind as to let us stay with them.

we had a lovely dinner with them on their back patio. it was a classic spanish meal: salad with vinegar&olive oil, croquettas, spanish ham, baguettes, & different cheeses. his dad loved asking us about the U.S. economy & politics. not exactly the easiest conversation in spanish but it was fun to test our knowledge.

our tourguide adrianito showed us around the vibrant city of madrid & took us to yummy restaurants.

savannah's friend, megan, had just arrived in madrid to be an Au Pair as well.

 so we got to meet up with her & her british friend, luke.

going out at night is what spain is all about. we had fun dancing it up at a discoteca.

it was weird to leave the spanish language after being immersed in it for over three months. but our little time in madrid was a fun way to say goodbye.
