Viva Madrid!

I needed to rest from the traveling and late night, so I just let myself sleep until 1! All I really accomplished that day was the Prado museum, with it's large collection of Goya and Velazquez and Spanish medieval art. It was a zoo, but it was nice to get a museum visit in since I haven't done that on this trip yet.
After, I met up with a group of couch surfers that were having some drinks at a bar called Umami. (I don't think they have burgers there.) I had a lot of fun with this group, good, interesting conversation. I've learned so many things on this trip and had so many experiences that it's felt like a two-month long trip rather than two weeks.
People in the CS community are also very outgoing and open-minded, so I've gotten to meet a lot of like-minded people.
The night continued until after the metro was already open again at 6am with dancing at a couple different clubs. A lot of our music, but enough Latin and Spanish music to make me happy too. I should also mention that I finally tried the beers they sell on the streets. It's not legal, but that's not enforced, so there are a bunch of people that just walk around with six packs and sell beers for 1euro.
This day was not documented on the iPhone, so I'll have to update with pics once I upload them.
