days 54-56: Spring Break in Spain

Over the last three days, I spring breaked/broke/enjoyed my time in Spain. :) while a recap of the trip will be one way of sharing my experiences, it only involves... sightseeing, more sightseeing, and a storm. My facebook album “Spring Break 2011: Madrid, Spain” recaps it well!


Here is my summary:

10 things I like about Spain:

  1. tortillas

  1. our taxi driver [who rescued us after the bus blitzed past us]

  2. Erin's language skills!

  3. Seeing a Jimmy Choo store!

  4. Finding starbucks at the perfect times

  5. backpacking :)

  6. seeing the sights with friends

  7. seeing all of Europe in one park! Parque Europa!

  8. being able to switch our flight, filling the last five seats on the plane!

  9. Coming home early. :)


10 things I DON'T like about Spain:

  1. walking [probably about 15 miles in three days, at LEAST]

  2. bus driver #261 [the one who drove right past the bus stop without stopping]

  1. bathrooms with no toilet paper [this is more so my friends who can't hold it...]

  1. cold showers [when the power goes out...]

  1. carrying tortillas [in our carry-ons that we stocked up on in Spain since they're really expensive in Portugal]

  1. having no pedometer :(

  1. waiting at Starbucks [when they mess up your order several times, and then forget about you]

  2. the “friends” we met at the airport

  3. the lady who lied to us on the bus about which stop we wanted... and consequently had to walk an extra mile...

  4. not knowing Spanish, and not being forgiven for the aforementioned tragedy.
