Teleferico

Days seem to go by faster in Spain, that's for sure! Today we had a short field trip in the morning and then we had the rest of the day free to do whatever we wanted. I heard of a Spanish dish called paella and I've been dying to try it. There's a tiny restaurant that specializes in paellas behind our hotel so we decided to check it out for lunch. I picked the chicken paella and it was delicious! (once again I forgot to take a picture so I stole one from google). Its yellow rice with green beans and peppers. The rice was creamy with a yummy flavor

Last week I researched different things to do in Madrid and I found a place called Teleferico which sounded awesome! It's basically a sky bucket that goes around the city of Madrid in the air. I wrote down the address just in case we could find time to go. With the help of the hotel receptionist, we picked the best metro route to use. Unfortunately the street that Teleferico is on is cut off from the map. So once we got off the metro we were just kind of wandering around. I saw some nice looking ladies and asked them for help. I spoke in Spanish and they actually thought I was a local for .5 seconds!! They ended up being tourists too and responded with no hablo espanol. I'm pretty impressed with myself that other tourists thought I was a local. After rejoicing that we actually found someone that spoke English, they helped us find Teleferico on a map they had. It was awesome and only 5 euros to ride it!

Thanks for the memories Madrid, but I'm ready to take on Southwestern Spain tomorrow!
