We're not rule breakers, can we have our cookies back?


Day has been one of my favorite days that I've had on my trip so far! We got to ssleep in for the first time today, and it was marvelous. We gave our madre our gifts for her this week, one of which was cinnamon sugar powder... so we offered to make her french toast so we could use it :) It was so delicious and so great to do something for her because she is so good to us! After brunch Emily and I chatted with our madre and got some of our favorite receipes from her, it was so fun! She told us a park to visit so we got ready and ventured out! It's called "parque de capricho" and it's a famous park here because it's where Goya went to paint a lot of his pictures! It was stunning... so we decided to have a little photo shoot :) Not unusual if you know me!

Funny story that happened at the park though... we walked in with a 4 pack of our favorite cookies and a 2 liter of Fanta. Well, this lady stopped us and pointed out a sign to us that said that we couldn't have food or drinks in the park. So she took our cookies from us but let us keep the Fanta (how nice.) So, we ventured on and explored this park while drinking our rather large Fanta that we weren't supposed to have. Then we proceeded to pick flowers to wear in our hair. On our way out we saw our cookies by a security guard and went to get them back... he asked us in a rather stern voice of we got the flowers in our hair from the park.. umm Emily quickly replied "no no no" took the cookies... and we ran. so rebellious :)

When we got on the metro to leave the park, we had an entire cabin thing to ourselves! So we danced, and sang as loud as we could and ran all over the train, it was great:)

Then we went to meet some friends for the famous ice cream we had the other day at "El Espejo" before church... which happened to be a concert we had to leave in the middle of. We had planned on seeing a late movie so before we decided to go get tapas at one of the most famous "hole in the wall" restaurants in town. SO DELICOUS. The day was perfect up until getting to that point. My volcanic blister on my foot decided to erupt (TMI I know... disgusting) and this large man on the metro decided to step on my foot and keep my toenail as a souvenir. Ouch.

Then on our way home we ran into our housemates and had some coffee and gelato at our cafeteria, and our sweet gelato man as we like to call him joined us! Can you tell which one he is?
Now we are home! We have a fun filled day tomorrow to since it's our last day in Madrid! Tuesday morning will be here before we know it!
My beautiful roomie!

  1. Those pictures are priceless. And that's ridiculous about the cookies! So mean! Sounds like a lovely day in all, though. :)
