Hola! Madrid was amazing! I had a fabulous weekend there. Rachel and I got in on Friday morning and went straight to El Mercado de San Miguel for some delicious sushi (and before you think "sushi?", remember that I can count on one hand the times I have had sushi since abroad, and not all my fingers have been used up...). We then headed to La Mallorquina bakery, per a suggestion, and ate one of the more delicious things I have ever had. 

Yes, I went back and shared this with people two more times during my weekend. Don't judge. You would have too.

We then spent our afternoon in an one of the big outdoor parks, with a pitcher of sangria of course, and officially began our weekend. And pretty much, the next three days went like that. Eat, Drink, Eat, Drink, Walk, Drink, Walk, Drink, Go out, Drink. Fun, right?!?!

By the way, I did do cultural things (if for some reason you don't find drinking and eating cultural...). We saw the Royal Palace, the Egyptian Temples at sunset, Plaza Mayor, the Reina Sofia Museum (loved it!), the botanical gardens in El Retiro Park, and of course ate lots and lots of tapas. I think my all time favorite tapas has to be the spanish omelette. I really just think it is so good. Looking back on it, it is probably a good thing I didn't go abroad in Spain as I apparently am a humongous fan of Spanish food. And Drinks. I love Sangria. Love!
