Neguin, Miad, Anyssa, Giso and Neeka walking the streets downtownThis past weekend...Started things off with a trip downtown to a cute little tea and shisha place. Neguin (Neeka's friend who lives in Madrid) took us through many streets to get us there, I don't think I would have been able to find this place without Neguin. When you order tea you get a nice plate of fruit and baklava desserts. I was very impressed with my 2.50 euro tea to come with all that.
Saturday was a nice day to sleep in and relax. Neguins mom prepared a feast, an excellent persian meal. It was so nice to have some home made persian food, I haven't had it in so long. Seven persian girls can sure eat a lot. Mmm that was an excellent lunch. In the evening we went to Pozuelo as a group to chat and have a drink, and then returned to Neguins for a chick flick and some snacks. All in all a nice change from all the craze that Madrid can be.
Mmm looks good!Sunday we were off to the market, El Rastro. One of the biggest flea markets in Europe they say. It was pretty busy, lots and lots of booths and people. I wasn't really looking for anything in particular but it was still fun looking through everything. After all the rush of people we met up with Miad and Anyssa for lunch at a nice little spanish restaurant. We just saw it around the corner on some street and decided to give it a try. A full 3 course meal for 12 euros, plenty of food and a nice little atmosphere, I was impressed! The rest of the day we went to the gardens of buen Retiro again and just sat, chatted, people watched and listened to the many bongo drummers by the great lake. A excellent way to end the busy day.

Thanks, I had to get that one extracted in an emergency dental clinic and the others will be removed on monday from an oral surgeon. How are you doing? Feeling healthy or is it hard to change diets? I enjoyed reading your blog and looking at the pics on facebook.
Take care :)
