it smells like ronaldo in here

today was such a productive, touristy day. woke up at noon, fabulous. then since we live less than a mile from the santiago bernabéu stadium (the real madrid stadium), we walked there. we were starving so we had lunch right outside the stadium at this pizza place, and sat outside. it was kinda cold we realized, but we were too proud to ask to move inside. our waiter and a little crush on caroline hahahaha and he asked her how to say "estoyloco para ti" in english (i'm crazy for you). his name is fernando, hes from ecuador, hes 24, and he's in love with caroline. too funny. we had pizza and sangria, which was delicious. after that, we walked to the stadium and took a self-guided tour. i've been there before when i went on my teen tour, but it was a lot more fun being there with carissa, caroline, and danielle. carissa thinks her boyfriend is ronaldo, so every time we saw his picture we HAD to take a picture.

after carissa bought the entire gift shop at the stadium, we stopped for ice cream. of courseee i got dulce de leche, and carissa and danielle told me to get "2 bolas" or 2 scoops, but danielle accidently said "bolsas" (bags) instead of "bolas" and the girl got so confused. we took the metro downtown and went to el museo reina sofia. we searched and searched for La Guernica by Picasso and FINALLLY found it. i was in love and shock and love. unfortunately we couldn't take pictures in there,the security guards would have murdered us. but it was beautiful and overwhelming and HUGE. Picasso is a genius. It was cool to actually see a painting in person that I've been studying for years and have only seen reproductions of. there was a whole room with his studies for the final piece so you could see his thinking and process of making it. amazing.

exhausted we all went home and we just had dinner (mmm tortilla española). now it's movie night with the family!!
