Not only is it not raining today, I found el campo del moro! I was in a running daze when I noticed a PEACOCK sauntering 2 feet away from me on one of the paths inside. Th
ere was no cage, no other animals, but a PEACOCK apparently lives in this park according to wikipedia. I wish I had my camera, but somehow I found this picture online that captures exactly what I saw this morning...it's the same PEACOCK, and you can see the park in the background.And the excitement continues; I was talking with Elvira at dinner and she mentioned that the building we live in is famous in Madrid because a famous Spanish architecht designed it. cool. AND... Pablo Neruda lived in this building too when he lived in Spain. really cool. There's a plaque on the corner of the building to prove it, but I haven't looked for it yet.
There's more... I am officially going to Cadiz, the southern tip of Spain, for the world's 3rd best Carnaval celebration this weekend!!! We're taking the 8 hour bus down Thursday night, hanging out on the beach and watching parades all day Friday, staying up all night, and then Saturday we have to catch our bus back to Madrid at 9am. Needless to say, this will be epic.
Epic indeed. I was checking a map of Spain to see where you're going and figured out where we went. It was Malaga and Torremolinos on the Med. side of Gibraltar. What's the weather expected to be like in CadiTH?
ReplyDeleteWhere is your apartment and school in Madrid so I can look them up?
Yeah, it looks like we're just on the opposite side of Gibraltar. It's supposed to be around 60, which will be great BUT its also supposed to rain!!!!!! At least its warmish and raining... aince it will also be raining in Madrid too
