A:Home-sick, B:Donny-sick, C:Flu-sick, D: All-of-the-above-sick

Man-oh-man, being sick when you're 5,000 miles away from the ones you love? 
Now that's just plain depressing.

To be honest, my mood this week has been pretty blue. I spent my days pouting indoors, mourning the temporary loss of my well-being. But, since I was feeling better today, I decided to kick my damn-I-miss-my-boyfriend blues by doing some long overdue Madrid sightseeing. Not only was it good for my mental, and physical, health but you guys win too! Well sort of, you have the privilege of viewing the beautiful, and amazingly well taken if I may say so myself, pictures below...inspiration to come visit, eh?

Puerta del Sol
Statue of King Charles III


Bear pawing a berry bush, symbol of the city.



Bob Esponje!
Salon La Mallorquina...must translate to DELICIOUS.


Plaza Mayor

Mercado de San Miguel, gourmet food mall.

Oldest door in Madrid from 1480 on Madrid's oldest building.
Madrid City Hall
Contreras!

Catedral de la Almudena 







Royal Palace





Plaza de España
Next weekend I am planning a day trip to Toledo so more pictures to come! Back to school tomorrow, I'm strongly considering wearing a hazmat suit to avoid another week of being sick. Wonder how that would go over with the staff...

  1. Amazing pictures, I thought Jenine and I did all the sight seeing we could do in Sol, but apparently there is more we need to see.
