Fotos de amigos, excursiones, y vacas

Photographic highlights of the past month in Madrid:

Alejandra and I in our apartment... before going out to Pacha.


San Lorenzo de El Escorial in the beautiful, almost-spring sunshine.

SK and I in the gardens of El Escorial.

Valentine's Day dinner at La Tia Cebolla

Below: Shenning, yours truly, and Yadira (again)





My group of girlfriends has adopted Dani from Argentina. He's a great guitar player, as I witnessed in Retiro on Sunday, and he speaks English really well, which has made it easier to become friends!

All about Madrid right now, there are 105 different cow statues for the Cow Parade. They are wildly creative and very fun to spot around the sitting. My school was the only school to paint one, and this is their cow, Olympia.

Did you know that cows say "Muuuuuu" in Spanish?
