I cannot believe that it is only February. I don't mean that in a bad way; time is flying by. But the weather here has fooled me into thinking that it's April already. I'm pretty sure the temperatures yesterday hovered around 60 and the sky was so blue. Today feels a little cooler, but it's warm enough that I have my balcony doors cracked open a bit to let some fresh air in.
This weekend I didn't go on any sorts of excursions, but like I said in my last post, I love Madrid so I had a really good time just staying in the city. Friday night my friends and I went to this cute restaurant called El Jardín Secreto for dinner and then saw Revolutionary Road. The acting and directing were really good, but it's kind of a downer of a movie. It's definitely not a first date sort of movie.
Yesterday we went to the park and had a picnic lunch and people-watched. I wanted to take a boat out in the estanque, but there was a line to rent them! I'll have to do that next time I guess. At night we went to a birthday party for our Italian friend. The picture with this post is of my roommates (Kathleen left; Kendra center) and me at the party. I stole this picture from Kathleen's facebook and her caption that goes with it is awesome: "Roommates! When you live three four metro stops from everywhere, never underestimate the wonder of having someone to split cab fare home with." While that is true (the cab ride home was really cheap!), Kathleen and Kendra are so sweet and I'm just so glad that they moved in for reasons other than cheap cab fare.
