Trip 2- Day 2 Madrid

Hi Everyone!

We are really sorry we don't have a lot of pictures, we don't have a cable to share them. But, not to worry many are being taken.

After our breakfast this morning at our hotel, we met some lovely British chaps. We all enjoyed their accents! Our tour guide, Matthew, took us on our 3 and a half hour tour. Even though our feet hurt at the end, it was very entertaining. From celebrating executions to becoming incestuous kings, there was no dull moment! At the end we found out that our Scottish tour guide was in fact a previous Scottish dancer! He showed us his moves (and some flamenco) and in return we performed Encore in front of the Congress building. He was amazed.

After dolling up for dinner and taking many, many pictures, we walked to our restaurant. There we had spaghetti and a choice of turkey, sea bass, or lasagna. It was very authentic....not so much. However, it was delicious and we ended with strawberry ice cream.

Just like last night, we joined a local mariachi band and danced with them. Surprisingly, they remembered us and played our favorite song and even wanted us to dance with them. All of the locals took pictures and clapped along with the band.

Its about time for bed, but tomorrow we travel to Badajoz for our festival and we are all very excited!
Adios y besos! Shannon M, Chelsea, and Katherine

  2. Monica's camera has a memory stick - if your laptop has a memory card slot she should be able to share some pictures.
