Out and about in the city!!

I decided to put up some pictures of Madrid to show everyone what it looks like!! There are random tourist spots everywhere, and it is not very common to drive. Everyone is out walking on the streets, and it is SOOO much fun to sit down and people watch! When I mention that I am going out to the city, this is what I am doing!!

Kate and I outside the Royal Palace! She is adorable and is from Canada.
It was so bright outside we could barely see but we wanted a picture with the guards so bad! We finaly got one!!!

This is Sabine and I outside a cathedral. She is from Germany and was my first friend here!! She lives down the street from me and is a nanny as well!

This is beautiful Retiro Park!! It reminds me a lot of Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. It is huge!!



I took a picture of him when he was not looking because I thought it was funny that he was matching his Vespa!!


These are the girls I spend all of my free time with!! I would die without them!


There are random cows decorated on every corner of the streets. It is so weird... but this one was on Valentines Day so I of course had to take a picture with it!

This is Jo!! She is so much fun to be around and I love her accent! She is from England. After the girls and I got to know eachother better, they said to me, "Girl! You have the thickest American accent EVER!" Yeah right!! They are the ones with the accents! haha

This is underground at the Metro Station. They have flatscreens in the middle of the two tracks to watch the news while waiting for the metro to come. I thought it was funny the first time I saw it.


The ceiling was SUPER low right here!! hahaha I barely fit because I am so tall!

Outside an old train station that they have now turned into a place for turtles. It was really interesting!

The typical street signs in the city!

Does it look like I am pusing it haha?

One Sunday after church!

Outside the Royal Palace!! It was HUGE!


I could not believe this lady was so short!!!!! Her feet are on the same level as my knees! She was out selling fruit and had an extra hat, so I asked if I could take a picture haha!



This is by far the best mullet on a woman I have seen yet!! The best part..... the reason I noticed her is because she was singing, "In the middle of the niiiight..." hahaha I was dying laughing!!


The worlds fattest Spider Man!!! They dress up and pose for money! They are so cool!!

This is another person out trying to get money! The city is so much fun!! We have a blast everytime we go do something!! I absolutely LOOOVE living here!!
