Madrid, Spain
Palacio Real (the royal palace). Our last day here. It was very warm again today. We came this morning into a nicer part of town - much busier, and more filled with tourists. We are staying at a nice 3-star hotel. It's a big step up from where we stayed the last two nights.
We went to the Palacio Real and took a tour - it's a crazy place. Very lavishly decorated, but fun to see.
Got hungry earlier than usual, so we found the Hard Rock Cafe here, and got some drinks, food, and a very tasty dessert. We saw the cool skyline bar they had too -- it was the New York skyline hanging from the ceiling.
On the way back to the hotel we went into a store to look around and I found a really cute skirt. I tried it on and really liked it, so I decided to get it 😊 Now I just have to figure out where to pack it!
I've also decided that I want to learn to play the accordian. They have a lot of people playing them on the street and I love the way they sound 😊
Tomorrow we get up early
Madrid, Spain
Inside the Palacio Real (the royal palace) and take the Metro to the airport. I don't want to leave yet, and I'm definitely not ready to go on a super long flight. I feel grumpy just thinking about it. I hope it passes by quickly.
But I had a really good time, and it makes me look forward to all the future trips Adam and I will take together -- I'm so happy he came with me, it just wouldn't have been as much fun without him.
I still haven't finished packing, but I'm procrastinating because I don't want to...however, I need to do it so I can go to sleep and be rested for tomorrow's trip home.
