Mom's here!

Finally, I can talk all day without someone looking at me like I am wierd- okay, that happens anyway. So, mom did everything I did in the past 5 days in one day (and she took a nap), what a trooper. We went to the Prado, the Royal Palace, San Miguel Market, and all the Plazas. We drank wine all day, ate tapas and walked everywhere! The best part of the day had to be San Grines Chocolatier. If anyone is going to Madrid, they have to stop here. This is where there are churros and chocolate. Churros are deep fried dough (kinda like a funnel cake, except not as gross) and you dip them into a cup full of melted (mom thinks bittersweet) chocolate. Whatever kind of chocolate it is- I want my own supply- oh my was I in heaven. After we finished our churros, there was still a cup of chocolate because the ratio of chocolate to churros was much in the chocolates favor. So, the man next to me (a local) looked at me and started to drink the chocolate out of the glass! Yes! (I thought). So, with a clink of the glasses, we drank the chocolate in the cups- what bliss. A wonderful way to finish the trip in Madrid. Tomorrow- land of cava, paella, and beaches- ahh, Barcelona.
