hola! Today was my first day in Madrid, Spain. What a cool city! When we were first driving into the city yesterday from the airport I wasn't that impressed, it looked just like any other city. But once we got into the heart of the city, my feelings changed completely. The architecture is so different than anything I have seen before. The buildings are all so beautiful, the post office looks like a palace! Last night I had my first "legal" drink at a local cerveceria it was pretty cool! Today we went on a tour of the Palacio Royal,, the Royal Palace. It was an amazing experience. We first went into the armory where they have a display of all of the past king's armor it was fascinating to see how detailed the metal work in the suits was! Then we went on a tour of the actual palace. I freaked out at first because our tour was in Spanish but I actually understood mostly everything! (they slowed everything down a lot). The inside of the palace was so beautiful! I don't think that there is anything in the U.S. like it! There were beautiful paintings, rugs, chandelliers, everything was beautiful!
