Madrid for the weekend!


This past weekend, I left after class for Madrid. The first time ever taking blablacar. Never heard of it? Well simply put, it is carpooling. Those registered on the website can list the trips they are taking and if you need to go where they are headed, they will take you for a cheap price. Seriously, cheaper. The train roundtrip for Madrid was about 100 euros, versus paying 45 euro roundtrip blablacar. Yeah, it sounds a little sketchy but if you travel in a pair or group, it is definitely safer. The car ride to Madrid was about 4 hours; spending from Friday about 7 P.M. to Sunday 10 A.M.
Things experienced while in Madrid,
Churros and Chocolate
Plaza Mayor
Retiro Park (with the manmade lake & rowboats)
Kilometer “0” in Plaza del Sol
A protest about CocaCola


It was a really neat experience to have visited the heart of Spain! Up next… Rome, Italy (round 2)
