Trip to Madrid

Okay so I'm not the best at this blog thing yet, so I will write about my trip and then post some pictures. Okay, so Madrid was wonderful but I must say it is good to be back. We stayed in some dorms that to me felt like a prison cell. When I wasn't at meetings I was out exploring. Let's see, I went to the Palacio Real ( palace of Felipe V), Plaza mayor (among many others), Parque del Retiro about 5 times (created during 1700's) a very beautiful park, Puerta del Sol, which is the center of Madrid, and then to 3 museums, Thyssen-Bornemisza, Sorolla, and yes The Prado. The Prado was simply amazing, I was there for about 4 hours, then I was sitting in the park when about 10 blue cars escorted by police turned the corner right next to me, wow, let's just say, a lot of crazy things happened to me that day. We had three hours to wait for our bus in Lleida so we hiked up the hill to what they call their castle, Besides getting caught in a rotating door and having a crowd of about 20 people trying to help me out, it was incredible. I saw alot on my trip and had a good time but I was really happy to get back to my lovely apartment in Andorra. ENJOY THE PICTURES!!!

All I have to say is "no fair" I wish that I were there to see all the fun sights.
