After the park, we walked down Gran Vía (the main shopping street) and then headed back to the apartment to pick up Tori before heading to the Mercado de San Miguel for some Sangria. For dinner, we met up with some other Richmond people at Ojala. It was in the coolest neighborhood and had absolutely delicious food! Being in Spain I knew that one night I had to experience the crazy night life. We went to a seven story club called Teatro Kapital at 1:30am which is considered early and didn't get back until 4:00am! As someone who goes to bed before midnight on a regular basis this was quite the experience but was so much fun. I might have had a little too much fun because I woke up Saturday morning without a voice! I'm going on day four and my voice still isn't completely back.
After sleeping in until past noon on Saturday, we finally ventured out of the apartment to the Federal Café for a delicious brunch! I had not had eggs with avocado and toast in so long, and this brunch did not disappoint. After brunch, we walked over to the Royal Palace of Madrid where we wandered through the gardens and past the Cathedral and then over to the main shopping area. I have been collecting postcards from each city I've visited, so I wanted to pick out my postcard and see if there were any other souvenirs that I wanted to bring home. I'm starting to worry about how I'm supposed to get all of my clothes and souvenirs home in December. For dinner, we grabbed some tapas at one of their favorite locals spots and then spent the night in hanging out and watching a movie.
It was so much fun hanging out with them and it made me that much more excited to head back to Richmond in January.
Love,
