After another 2 1/2 hour nap thanks to thenhigh speed train we said Hola (again) to Madrid. I think our cab driver moonlights as a tour guide because we got a little tour on the way to our hotel; he also might moonlight as a comedian because as he was pulling our bags out of the trunk he was like oooooooo wooooowwwww. We then headed down to Plaza de Sol; this seems to be a big meeting/hang out point at all times of the day because it always seems busy.
We saw people taking a picture with this statute and had no idea what it was. I said to Bridget,
O this statute is also on the Starbucks Madrid Cup. Well these Brits heard us and said o really?!?!? I was like yeah but do you know what it is? They said it was the symbol of Madrid.
We stumbled upon this random stage in the middle of Madrid;
it looked like some fashion show and
tv interview..............who knows though!
We also discovered this super cheap sandwich chain, mini sandwiches and a beer for 1 euro each and sangria from a tap for 2 euros.................sign me up!
A good start to Madrid!!!
