One last post from Madrid

Hola chicas y chicos!

Day 39

It´s our last night in Spain! Claire and I are having a flurry of mixed emotions. Really sad to leave this trip, and on the other hand ready to be home.

We´re pretty on edge at this point because both of us are almost out of cash. Hence, we spent the better part of the day with Jayguer free-museum-hopping. Poor college student travelers much?

The first museum we went to was the Egyptian Temple, which was donated to Spain as a gift from Egypt. Basically, it´s an ancient Egyptian Temple hangin' out in the middle of Madrid. Isn't that awesome?


Find Claire.

And then we went to the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) where they had a bunch of free exhibitions, including one of just armors and armors and armors and armors. They even made armors for dogs back in the day.


Jayguer treated us to some delicious icecream and even cooked us a Panamanian lunch! I wish I had a picture it was delicious. It's called patacones, and it's deep fried plantains with stir fry. Yum.

The rest of the day was spent shopping :P We very carefully budgeted our purchases though, as we are extremely low in cash, as I explained above. But we've made some good purchases!


Cheers to one last giant glass of tinto de verano.

Good night!
