A friend randomly showed up from high school in Madrid this weekend, so even though I was bogged down with grading, we managed to keep ourselves busy doing different things around Madrid. At first we tried to go to the Madrid "space needle," but it's closed for construction and no one has any idea when it's opening again. We then went on the Gandala, although I can't remember it's name in Spanish, and ended in Casa de Campo. After a long jaunt across Casa de Campo, we managed to make it to the zoo, but it was closing so we didn't get to go. This might sound negative, but we had a great time walking and talking and catching up on old times. The next day we walked around some other different parks in Madrid, making sure to spend quite some time in Retiro. Saturday I took the day off and graded papers for nine hours, and then today we went to the amazingly crowded rastro before I came home to finish grading.
It's amazing how a four day weekend can fly by so quickly. But I wanted to share some nice pics and thoughts on the weekend! Miss you all!!!
