Our family rented an apartment in the heart of city-- right as the World Cup Finals were in session.
It was amazing to be in a city so involved in a national sport. I couldn't help but wish that United States had a national sport!!
We didn't actually spend much time exploring Madrid itself-- although we walked around some of the streets near our apartment in search of food (my mom's a vegetarian... and we actually found that getting vegetarian food was quite difficult).
The most interesting part of our journey? Seeing a group of Hari Krishna fans dancing through the streets of Madrid!
While in Spain, we took a trip to Segovia-- the place where Isabella and Ferdinand first met each other. Their palace was a sight to see!! Interestingly enough, it was much smaller than I expected.
The town of Segovia was beautiful and quaint.
Spain certainly was an experience!
