Day Trip to Madrid

Palacio Real.

Inside the theater.

"Annie."

I took a day trip to Madrid where I went to see the Palacio Real and the musical, Annie. I went by myself as I didn't have many friend yet... but I'm glad I did because I got upgraded from the balcony to the 7th row. I think the felt bad for me because I was the oldest person there without a kid and I was alone. But whatever, I happily took the upgrade. I wanted to go see Annie instead of something I had never seen because I figured it would be easier to follow along. The songs were easy to catch on to... "The sun will come out tomorrow//El Sol brillará mañana." I completed the trip with a huge plate of nachos from Fosters Hollywood, the American restaurant. And of course, after I have really lost my taste for pop (Coca-Cola light is just NOT the same as Diet Coke), I found this is the only place that gives free refills on drinks. Go figure.

Outside the palace.

Main square, Plaza del Sol.

Free Refills, whatttt!

My nachos, my obsession.

I had an extra hour before my bus left for Cuenca so I went into a bar near the theater and had a shandy (beer with lemon Fanta), okay two, while I waited.

An end to a great day in the city.
