MADRID

This was our first stop on our tour around Madrid. First, it was beautiful! I love European architecture! I tried to think about the people that were here when it was built. I wonder what they thought about. I wonder what was going on in the city while it was being built. I wish I could go back in time and see what it was like.  I think it's crazy that the building is empty. They only use it for is big events. I thought about writing them a letter and telling them they I would just live there. :-) 

In general though I loved the trip to Madrid. I really love big cities and Madrid is amazing. It's has a old European style but is a big, well known city. I enjoyed seeing all the painted cows around the city. It was fun to see the different styles and varieties.  I lived in NYC for a while and couldn't help but compare the two- but the 2 are so different. I love them both but for different reasons. I love the architecture and "small city feel" of Madrid but I love NYC because it's the U.S. and have the newer, more contemporary style. I hope I get to go back to Madrid soon and see more of the beautiful city.
