One Spain

This morning we walked around all the fabulous museums of Madrid, but we won't be going in until we have our student cards which come with hella discounts. Ramiro led the tour and we followed with the rest of our little group. Then we had a little rest in El Retiro--the giant park we were walking through--for some horchata, which I had never had and only knew from that Vampire Weekend song. Turns out it's pretty good, like a sweet creamy slushy.

But most importantly, we started our day at the phone store!! And so, armed with a brand-new Sim card, I am now a proud user of WhatsApp, so if you wanna hit that up, let me know and I will give you my 1000-digit Spanish phone number.

Fun 'n' Sun in Madrid!

We had the rest of the day free, so after a brief struggle downloading WhatsApp, we set out to find a public pool. I hadn't swum since Tuesday and I missed it. Plus we're all sweaty all the time here, so the water felt really good.

Now we're home getting ready to head to Granada tomorrow morning. I just unpacked so it's kind of a pain, but we'll only be gone about week, so that's not so bad. Plus Granada sounds so sweet.
