I spent the day in Madrid with my mom last week! Yes, you read that right, my mom came to Spain! I woke up at three in the morning, took a bus at four, took the metro to the airport, and waited for her to arrive. It was crazy at first because her flight was delayed by five hours and then we couldn't find each other. But, after we found a cute coffee shop, it was good!
We also found this cute place that had some good lemonade, sangria, coffee, pastries, and a cool patio outside.
She only brought a backpack to hold everything she needs for nine days, so it was huge and heavy. We took turns wearing it and called it the "baby".
This is one of the universities in Madrid, University Carlos III de Madrid.
I love the fall colors coming through! I don't see as much in Toledo.
After walking around a bit, we went to the Reina Sofia Museum, a museum of 20th century art from Spain. We saw a lot of art by Picasso and Juan Miro. It was cool, but my favorite is still the Prado Museum.
After that, we got tapas at a nearby restaurant that had tapas from the Basque country, an area of Spain in the northeast. Mama was amazed because, well... tapas are awesome! The food we ate and is not pictured was goat cheese with tomato on top of bread. It was delicious!
We were really tired from walking around, so we started in the direction to the bus station to go to Toledo.
Her hostel is pretty awesome! It's not amazing, but it's as cool as a hostel can get! There is a terrace with an awesome view of Toledo and a shared kitchen!
After a long day in Madrid with my mom, we both decided to get ready for bed and sleep! I'm so glad my mama is here with me. It's such a blessing.
Kthnxbai!
