Madrid



Here is the beginning of my posts from my travels. From 26 Sept - 28 Sept I was in Madrid with the group I am studying with here. Madrid was still a candidate city at that point for the 2016 Summer Olympics (losing out to Rio de Janiero later that week), so here is a picture of me with the campaign poster. We went to El Prado, one of the most famous art museums in Europe (and the world). Also, since Spain is very old, Madrid was build close to the center of the Iberian Peninsula, so all the highways start in Madrid and go out from there, pretty cool. And last is the Royal Palace, which is gorgeous but not really used today except for formal occasions!
