Over break, I traveled down south to Madrid to visit Jessica, a good friend of mine who is teaching English there. It was a wonderful week of Spanish food- paella, patatas bravas, tapas, tortilla espangol, etc. Everything was amazing, and of course it was wonderful to see Jessica, as well as her roommates, Tory and Allison! On Saturday, Jessica and I played some ultimate frisbee (finally!) with the team she's joined in Spain. It was so much fun, even though after about 3 hours of ultimate I could hardly walk! It was really nice to throw a frisbee again and run around on a field.
We also celebrated Allison's birthday with a night out, full of dancing and fun! We also celebrated Valentine's Day by going to a tapas restaurant and sharing a meal there. One of the best things in Spain is that whenever you order a drink, they give you a plate of food to go with it- from olives, to paella to potatoes. On Sunday, Jessica and I got up in time to visit 2 of the most famous museums, the Prado and the Reina Sofia during their free hours and saw lots of Goyas and Picassos as well as other artists.
On Monday, Allison, Jessica and I went to a town outside of Madrid called Segovia that has the highest concentration of Romanesque churches in Spain and an aqueduct. It was a cute Spanish town, and really nice to visit. Overall, a very relaxing vacation and great to catch up with many UNC kids. :)
