Madrid v. 3

I went to Madrid this past week from Tuesday to Friday, making it my longest trip there yet! It was a pretty good visit, the purpose of it was to go look at colleges and dorms for Ana, which was unbelievably boring (they have to interview to get into dorms here so it was just like sitting in waiting rooms until the interview was over) but luckily I only had to go to two, and the other times I got to check out Madrid by myself. It was so unbelievably hot I can’t even describe it, making being outside not super pleasant, but I got to go to the Museo del Prado (wow really really cool and I know next to nothing about art) and Retiro Park and the Gran Via and some cool little shopping neighborhoods. So all the parts that I was by myself were good, it was just when I was with my host family that was no fun…they seemed intent on pushing all my buttons and it was just very exhausting. BUT Madrid man it is a cool city I highly recommend it there’s tons to see and do, a nice change from Don Benito.

I took no photos cause like what’s the point but just google-image Madrid I went to most of the touristy places and there’s good photos so do that.
