This past weekend was amazing. I had the chance to visit yet another country, put my Spanish speaking abilities to use, visit my good friend from grade school and high school, and drink some amazing sangria. This post will have to be a short one, because I also had the chance to experience night life in Madrid, which does not start until 1AM and usually ends around 6AM. Needless to say, I am running on an hour and a half or so of sleep. We landed today from Madrid around 12:00, made it back to campus around 12:30, and I have been trying to finish homework since then! It is now 1:30AM and I tomorrow we will be catching the 8:20AM train into Rome, where we will be visiting the Vatican museums. Until I have time to fully describe Madrid, I will include a few pictures that illustrate the trip as a whole. The picture of the painting is a work from Picasso I saw in the Museum of Renia Sofia..here I was able to see the famous Guernica, by Picasso as well. The picture of the man holding me, (or me hanging ever so gracefully on the man..either or)is in front of the bull fighting ring in Madrid. The picture of Sarah, Katie, and I forming our grade school "SMS" sign is in front of the Palace Royal in Spain. The last picture is one I took from on top of the Banco Del Espana, looking out on the beautiful city of Madrid.
Enjoy the pictures, miss you all!
Love and miss you. Grandpa
