Georgetown Day in Madrid

To celebrate the last day of classes at Georgetown, we have an all day party on the front lawn with food, games, face paint, prizes, and of course laying out on the lawn. We decided that eventhough we're abroad, we couldn't miss the best day of the year at school. So, most of us from the program, went to Retiro park and had our own version of Georgetown Day. We brought lunch and sat outside (it was such a perfect day). We had speakers for music and I finally tried the best-advertised icecream cone Ive ever seen- Magnum. It was just as good as the ads make it seem. Then, just as everyone was leaving, my intercambio, Esmeralda, called and said she was coming to the park with all of her friends- so the party continued for another 2 hours. Finally, it was getting cold and late so Alex and I started to walk home when we were invited to drinks with some new friends. And then finally on our way home-for real this time- we passed a shoe store that was open (since its a holiday today hardly anything was open) and I got new flats. It was a great day that never ended. Though, I think Im going to end it now soon and go to sleep.

BTW- It's mother's day here tomorrow- so happy pseudo-dia de la madre, Mom.
