I also love Spanish fashion. I can't wait to wear something "in fashion", I'm sure my mother would give me a look and my dad would say "You're wearing that?!?" and mean it. I could throw on all the clothes in my suitcase and it all be okay. I saw one girl wearing plaid tights with plaid shoes, it was awesome!
Yesterday I went to Retiro park (Re-TI-dough), it is gorgeous and relaxing. You see many people picnicking, sleeping, or just hanging out. The memorial for Alphonso XII is there and there was a man playing saxophone, so I just sat around and listened for a while and relaxed. I would like that kind of lifestyle, work til 3 or 4, then hit the park and chill.
I met some other Americans and we went out to a cervezaria that was PACKED. It was nice to go out with some people, I'll admit my inverted and awkwardness really comes out in these type of situations. We may try and find a bar that is playing college football tonight, a lot of irish pubs do that. (Frogs won btw, looking for a Boise loss)
I went walking today and went to the Columbus plaza, just walked around aimlessly. The Reina Sofia museum was free today, so I took advantage of that. LOTS of stuff to see there, lots of walking. They had some great exhibits. Hans-Peter Feldmann had this one installation called 9/12. It featured 150 newspapers with the headlines having to do with 9/11 here. I couldn't read most of them because they were in different languages, it made me become emotional, so the piece did it's job.
I was able to sneak a picture with Guernica in the background, they don't allow photography. I did this for my Art History teacher too! It really is a statement piece!
I leave for Manzanares tomorrow. Onward to more adventures. I'm again anxious/excited/nervous and still a little tired...
Until next time,
Tori
