Friday, September 10th

Me, Antonia, and Katy in
free hats from school
Today between classes Antonia found these sweet, free hats at school. Naturally we had to take pictures in our new sombreros! :) Love them or love them? 


After class Katy and I went to Retiro Park again (Mikaela was sick, so she wasn't at school, so she couldn't come with us :( ). The weather is just too nice to stay indoors! On our way we stopped by Burger King to get ice cream and french fries. Mine had so much chocolate in it, I literally could not finish it. It was basically straight up chocolate syrup! I know not finishing ice cream is a crime, but I just couldn't help it!! :)
planning out vacations
with Katy in Retiro Park

Once we got to the park, we found a nice little sunny spot in the grass and made a list of all the places we want to visit in Spain/in Europe. We came up with a list of 9 places we really want to go. Then we made a list of all the weekends we have free, which was only 7 (not including the 10 day Fall Break that we're planning on going to Italy for). Monday we're planning on all 3 getting together and making some decisions about where to go and what to do, so we can go ahead and start getting tickets and hotel/hostel arrangements! I do not want to waste a single second here!!!!!
Me and Teresa's friends :)
(Teresa is the second from the right)
After the park, I ate lunch with my Abuelita as always and took my typical siesta. In the late evening, as I was Skyping with father, Teresa invited me to go see a movie with her girlfriends! We went and saw "Un pequeño cambio" ("The Switch" in English.. With Jennifer Aniston). It was really good! Of course the movie was in Spanish, but I caught the overall theme and basic plot line. It was especially difficult when the child was talking because he mumbled and made it difficult to understand.
that's my house behind the red  lights!!!

After the movie, we went to this bar/restaurant that over looks the Madrid skyline. It was beautiful! Of course we took several pictures, and the girls pointed out where my house was (ish). So much fun! After looking at the skyline, we got cokes from the vending machine and sat down on the patio to chat and drink them. One of the waiters at the restaurant (pictured with me), kept complimenting me. Eventually (his dad?)/the restaurant owner came over and asked if I thought he was cute and said he didn't have a girlfriend and wasn't sure why. Long story short, this man was totally trying to play match maker. He wanted my phone number, but I left my phone at home on accident and literally didn't know my phone number! FAIL! So I gave him my name and told him to Facebook me. The girls kept teasing me the rest of the night, calling him my "novio" (boyfriend), "amante" (lover), and "lugre" (boyfriend/squeeze(?)). 
Spanish boyfriend? haha

After we left the restaurant we went to this little ice cream store and got ice creams. I got the best coffee ice cream I've ever had! It was so smooth and creamy.. LOVED IT!! :)


After ice cream, we all went home :)
