Week 2 Photos

---

Hey y'all! Here are photos from Week 2. I didn't go anywhere for the entire week, so all of the photos here are from Madrid.

A few memorable places:

La Plaza de Toros

Museo Reina Sofía

Chocolatería San Ginés

You're probably wondering... there were so many photos last time, what happened? Well, this week was a bit of an off-week for itineraries, so the majority of places we went to were streets and buildings from movies we had seen in class. I also realized that it'd be nice to give a short description of each place. That being said, look forward to Week 3 photos! Probably my favorite weekend so far.
