Owling in Madrid

Last weekend I went to Madrid with three friends. It was a great relaxing weekend. It is so nice to travel with four people instead of the large group like in Barcelona. We rediscovered owling so we owled all the city. I will tell you about our weekend through pictures!

We rode avanza bus there. As we were getting on the bus we were worried we were going to be really warm on the bus. It was quite the opposite, the AC was on high the whole four hours. I had the goosebumps!
 Our first night we grabbed dinner at a restaurant near our hostel. I had broken eggs which is two fried eggs on top of french fries. It was interesting. We explored after dinner. The city is beautiful with so much to see. We found a concert in the streets. Below is a fountain!
 We owled too!
 Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast at our hostel. I had toast. We then headed out exploring with our new friend from denmark.
 The streets were shaded by these huge canopies so it was a nice temperature as we walked.
 We went inside the Palacio which was really cool. We werent allowed to take any pictures inside but the view from the courtyard was nice.
 We owled with statues.
 Sunday morning we went to the Real Madrid Stadium. It was so cool to walk around and see it.
 I owled on the field.

 After grabbing some lunch we explored a beautiful park.We only had 2 hours so we couldn't see the whole park but what we saw was beautiful! I do not know if you can see in the picture but you could rent row boats and boat around the little lake area.

It was a fun weekend of exploring. We got back to Valencia during the EuroCup finals game. So I grabbed a taxi home from bus station to drop off my backpack and biked to meet up with others to see the end of the game. SPAIN WON!! The place was crazy! Everyone flooded the streets. People were lighting off fireworks in the streets and dancing and singing. I mostly just watched crazy spaniards. It was fun to be here in Spain when they won though!
