When we last looked in on our hero he had been in Madrid for the first time ever and definately fell in love with it. The next day was pretty chill. Here we are studying. That is Laika. She's a really fun dog.
We went to the mall and shopped around. There was a midget door and I wanted to take a picture but no one would do it with me. I got this one instead. It was pretty nifty. 
That night we went to the Discoteca for the first time. It was crazy and smelled of smoke and alcohol but got more fun towards the end. We went to a 2nd after an hour of the first and it was all Americans. Kinda a waste but still fun.The next day we had our very first Madrid Walk. It was on architecture. Really neat cause that is my favorite thing. I really want to live somewhere like this when I grow up. Somewhere where the buildings have culture.
We were in a huge group and Erin had a copy of the homework so we dicided to split into two groups, as one went on we stayed behind and by coincidence the same five stayed behind. We decided that we'd chill at the Prado for a bit while the other group went on ahead. We saw a gay couple and so I sneakily took a picture of Erin with them in the background. They got pretty far away and are on the leftish side with the bike.
So Goya is my favorite artist and so I had to get a pic with his statue outside the Prado while we waited. I am really glad that I got that job at the MOA because it really opened my eyes to art and such. I've always liked it but now I can appreciate it more.
That was the Prado.
Right behind there there was a really cool church. Note the artistic moon in the background. I felt impressed with myself. 
Here we had an Arthur moment...
Then we were off to the walk. I felt oddly reminded of Monty Python.
The city is just plain awesome. I'm going to build my house exactly like this when I'm filthy rich.
But seriously though. We walked around but we didn't have a very good list of where we were supposed to go and we didn't really understand it anyways but we sure had a lot of fun and took a lot of pictures. 
Here are some old people of Spain. Who remembers when I yelled out that i hate old people at a tennis match? That's changed here in Spain. They are so funny looking and in thier own little world. 
This guy the awesomest mullet I have ever seen. He is the one selling lottery tickets in the puffy coat. They have convinced me that I need to get one while I'm here. When in Rome... So I will when the time finally comes to cut my locks. I'm excited.
So this was a really famous building and then McDonalds came and bought it and ruined it.
That is a pretty crazy smile.
For this picture I had to set my Camera down with the timer. It was really nervous but ready to run and beat anyone down.
Isn't that just Awesome?
So, all in all I am pretty happy with that class. I have to write a two page paper today about my insights of the walk but it was pretty much a really fun "class".
