Day 1- 1/4
We arrived in Madrid after barely sleeping on the 9 hour flight from Chicago to Munich. Then had a two hour flight from Munich to Madrid. We got set up in our hotel called NH Zurbano, downtown Madrid.
Then went for dinner at Los Galayos. We had salad, salmon, a raspberry pastry dessert and of course wine! Mi primer vaso de vino en España! Que chévere! No fue el mismo de moscato :/ pero vino, es vino y fue gratis.
It was next to the Plazo de Sol. There were many Christmas decorations up throughout the city. The city was very crowded and we got to take the metro.
Our guide Bruce is a little overbearing but he means well. When we are in the metro he will stop in the middle and shout, A la pared!! Empuja el buton verde! So we have to stop as a group of 32, get against the wall, count ourselves and then get on it. Definitely obnoxious and we definitely stand out. But now we all understand the metro. Although the step by step instructions did continue for the rest of the week.
