well i guess its about time i update this again...especially since it officially disappeared from my top sites which means i REALLY need to step up my game. I know i said i wanted to make a very in depth post about madrid but im sure i could easily sum it up. Differences between barcelona and madrid- madrid was much more city like...almost felt like i was in london. There were more poor people which made it more depressing. there were street performers everywhere and people who had things in their mouths that made them sound like talking babies. Liz was so freaked out by them and we didnt find out until the last day that they had things in their mouths to make those noises and they didnt just have some odd talent. I liked madrid a lot and i got to see Jackie and other marist people which was nice. The food was awesome and we ate a lot. We went on a food tour and stopped at a bunch of places. We went to the best patatas bravas place in the world. We also went to two little mexican restaurants. One was very classy and the other was a hole in the wall. Both were great. We went on a guided tour which was nice except i fell asleep on the bus...typically. We went to a club called kapital that is 7 floors and each floor has a different type of music. We went to the reina sofia and the prado museums. I liked the city square of madrid and how there was so much in one place but i felt significantly more unsafe there than i do here. On the last day of our trip we went exploring and found this really cool lot that was basically an outdoor area made into an indoor area by using plastic and balloons. There was graffiti everywhere so of course it was one of my favorite places we went. overall it was a good trip.

Soooooo after our weekend in Madrid it was back to barcelona. We were once again happy to be back. on Monday we went to loco lunes for the first time which we are now obsessed with. Tuesday...valentines day...we all went out to dinner. Wednesday was Laidback luke which was absolutely amazing. We were up so close i almost could touch him. Thursday we went to opium for the first time and it was also awesome. Friday we went to chupitos finally but it was so crowded that it wasnt as fun but im sure we will go again. After we went to duvet and it was masquarade themed so they gave us free masks and free drinks. There was nobody there so we finished our drinks and went to city hall which was also cool. We met a group of army boys from the US who are stationed in Germany and we hung out with them for a little. Saturday we went to las ramblas for the first time and went to a little bar there and then mcdonalds. Sunday we went to sitges for carnaval which was amazing. we didnt have outfits so we dressed in crazy clothes. we had the most amazing wraps of our entire lives in sitges which just made me fall more in love with the place. We went to classes on monday and tuesday we went to sitges again. We thought that sunday was more fun but both nights were crazy. Last night we went to ice bar and it was awesome. tomorrow morning we leave for germany. I PROMISE i will update RIGHT after i get back from germany.
Lebewohl! (goodbye in german)
