Madrid
In and around Spain
3 months in Madrid, Spain= partying until the wee hours of the MORNING, drinking tinto de verano and eating cheese with honey and tortilla espanola, buying too many clothes and souvenirs to fit in my suitcase, seeing famous artwork in El Prado and Reina Sofia, visiting national landmarks, meeting so many new people, and oh yeah...studying.
