Well, not entirely... Actually between leaving Càdiz and arriving in Rome, I made a stop in Madrid to visit my amazing friend Mimi, from home. It was really great to see the city again from a different perspective. We did the Prado, followed by shopping, as well as the Reina Sofia, followed by shopping (now that Iàm in Rome Iàm realizing what a stupid idea all the shopping in Madrid was - especially considering what happened on the way here, but Iàll get to that...) (also, I appologize for the weird accented "a"s - turns out thereàs no apostrophe in Italian, and therefore it doesnàt appear on the keyboard, instead à does. And I canàt not hit that key!!!!) We also had a fantastic picnic in the Parque del Buen Retiro. We bought fresh strawberries, cherries, cheese, bread, and little miniature cookies at the Mercado San Miguel (HIGHLY recommend) and then took them to the park, where we sat in the shady grass and people watched. It was the best afternoon!!! I was in Madrid a total of 4 nights (3 days?) and then it was off to Rome.
I arrived in Rome yesterday, and since then, I feel as though Iàve walked all the way back to Madrid. But I will tell you all about that tomorrow - internet is limited, and I must go.
Ciao, arrivederci, e baci, baci, baci!!
