Passport to Paris

It has been a pretty chill past two days here in Madrid! Thursday we went to class, took a longggggg (I'm talkin 3 hour) siesta to try to catch up on all the naps we had missed, and did a little bit of studying in a one of our favorite cafés. We needed a break from studying so we did a little shopping and then stopped to watch creepy men in cheetah leggings dance to Vogue by Madonna in a street show. That was weird.

Today we had a midterm for our second class, we now only have one week of classes left. Cannot believe it. After class we went to Mercado de San Miguel, our favorite, to celebrate Benjamin's birthday and eat tapas! Then Caroline and I just HAD to celebrate National Donut Day so we headed to none other than Dunkin' Donuts to get our free donut with a cup of coffee! So sad to say they didn't have blueberry coffee here, but it was SO nice to get a regular sized cup of coffee!

We had dinner at 7 tonight, which is SO early for Spain, because we are going to Paris in the morning!! Caroline and I watched Mary Kate and Ashley's Passport To Paris (no shame) and tried to learn a few French phrases (that was a disaster) while we packed! Our alarm is set for 4 am, it's still light outside, and we are about to hit the hay! We've heard that the French aren't really fond of Americans and our attempt to speak French is terrible so we will see if we can work our southern charm this weekend.

Au Revoir!

Still one of our very favorite places in Madrid,  Mercado de San Miguel

Happy National Donut Day!
