Typical Weekend

I know that some people look at this blog every day so I am sorry that I have not posted anything in the past few days.

Anyways, my life the past few days has been boring. Well Friday was an epic adventure. My friends and I went to our favorite tapas bar, Malaspina, located near Puerta del Sol. Then we had a friend of a friend who is a Madrileno, a person from Madrid, show us to a good club. After we got in we could not even move because it was packed wall to wall. We had a few drinks and danced the night away Madrid style. They mostly played songs in English so we knew all of them. Before any of us realized it, it was already 5am (where did the night go). We left the club, but we still had an hour to kill before the metro opened up again. So we went to have Churros con chocolate. In Spain you dunk your churro in hot chocolate, but the hot chocolate is basically a melted Hershey's bar in a cup (so thick that the spoon stays on top of it).

I slept most of Saturday, but when I woke up, my host Father was cooking Paella (a traditonal Spanish dish made of rice and either shellfish, rabbit, chicken, or a mixture). If you know me, then you know I am not too fond of shellfish, but I did ok with this dish; it was not bad.

Sunday brought an entire new set of adventures. The family and I were planning on going down to the street market. However when we woke up it was snowing like crazy (the biggest snow flakes I have ever seen, almost like snow balls falling). We decided to stay in even though the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground.
