This was my first day to the the core of Madrid. In the morning however was a slow morning where we all woke a little a late. I prepared a canadian breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup. They all seemed to enjoy this and I think my next meal will be french toast, I just need to get the right bread.
For lunch we went to Celia's parents and had a big lunch. Lots of dishes. Not necessarily big dishes, but small amounts of lots of things. There were 3 kinds of ham sliced, 3 kinds of fish (salmon, a white fish, a small thin fish -haha my description is lacking here), also mushrooms, peppers, home made french fries, lettuce with a special dressing and spanish sausage. I tried everything except the small thin fish, seeing as I am still not a big fan of fish I was happy with trying the others already. The ham is really popular here but I dont' really like it. It tastes very fatty, almost as if they have smeared butter around the piece of meat. Maybe I will learn to like it but for now, not so much.
The evening was the best part of the day... I got to see Neeka and meet her friend Neguin who lives in Madrid. It was nice to see a familiar face and speak to someone with fluent English. We went to the centre of Madrid, Sol. Just walked around in the evening and watched the sunset. (hmm i need to figure out how to post things properly on here, but I can't seem to find how to turn the photo in the proper view, so I guess you can't see Neeka and I in a photo for now). Here at least is the beautiful sunset.
Miss you all,
Talk soon!
