Mom and I in Madrid
18th December (three days with mom in Madrid)
Today is my third day with my mom in Madrid. My only comment on that is YES!! We have been having a blast. On Saturday morning at exactly 7am she met me at the airport and lets just say that both of us were really extremely excited to see the other( we hugged for about 1 minute). We have been inseperable since wondering around Madrid. We have visited the Reina Sofia Museum (spent a lot of time there looking at Dahli, Monet, and of course Picasso´s art) been eating doners (which are a pita with meat, lettuce, tomato, ranch and some red dressing- turkish fastfood), Prado museum (we spent a lot of time there looking at Valezquez, Goya, and Greco), the Retiro park, a little shopping, went to the Eragon movie (we had assigned seating like a play), eaten a few tapas, bought some art and of course led the carefree hostel student life.
Some of the highlights have been the things neither of us planned on like running into demonstrations at Plaza del sol and playing with sparklers in the mass of people, or buying a dvd from a street vendor that has a blanket laid out ready to be picked up if a cop comes by (and feelign like it was a drug deal because he kept looking around), and getting a little lost on a street and encountering a store filled with people buying meat and cheese and learning how to buy 1/4 kilo of meat and cheese (neither of us knew the word for a 1/4 so it was media media kilo- you can imagine the guy´s expression). The little things that make life interesting and enjoyable!
I am excited to see what the rest of our vacation together will bring!
