Wellll life is getting hetic over here, and as I'm in the car on the way to the airpport to go to Dublin, I realized my silly self has completely fortgot to take the time to blog about Spain.
So my friend Zubin from Semester at Sea is in Madrid until May and I had a free weekend so I jetted! Last weekend was one of the greatest reminders of just how fun life can be and one of the best weekends I have had in quite some time.
Got in Thursday night, mastered the metro within 5 minutes of arriving ( true SAS style) and got to Zubins place! We headed out to grab a beer at a really trendy and well decorated little bar. Although Zubin and I have been living life more in the lifestyle of 53 year olds instead of 23 we decided a tequila shot was a true test of our youth... Which stayed with me until about 4pm the next day! (FAIL).
Friday Zubs had to work so I wandered around Madrid. Truely one of my favorite feelings... Just walking outside at the start of your day with no real plans and an entire city at your fingertips! I saw the Reina Sophia art museum, which has many picasso works including the Guerncia ( I'm totally butchering the spelling here but I'm winging this from the blackberry and can't refernece the proper spelling.. Google it :) ) anywaysssssss it was a reeally nice museum. Zubin showed me an awesome spot, el tigre, for some lunch... 4 euros got us each a beer and enough tapas to keep my satisfied!! Good deal if I do say so myself!
Considering Zubin played hooky from work friday afternoon, we went back to the embassy to a happy hour thing the marines put on. It was really quite a good time. I met some of the other interns who provided much fun the rest of the weekend! Ok looks like this is as far as I'm going to get with this post... More to come.. And it includes VIP parties, bunnies, the Diesel, jam sessions, gay bars, andddddddddd much more! Ciao ciao!
