Madrid-Dublin

Alright so last Saturday we went to Madrid.  When we got there we went to the Museu del Prado.  It was alright.  To be honest I'm not that interested in art.  BUT no worries, I will be taking a History of Art class.  fun, fun.  Then the rest of the day we walked around the town.  On Sunday we were supposed to go to another town, but due to snow it was cancelled.  We went to the worst museum ever.  It was being remodeled, so there were only like three exhibitions open.  Don't worry it was free. Pretty much hung out at our amazing hotel that we were staying in most of the day.  That night we went to the strangest theatre show ever.  One, it was in Spanish but it was so weird.  The short version is that there was the queen who stayed in her bed the entire time.  Her son wanted her dead so that he could become the next ruler.  He was married to an American women (lots of American jokes).  They had a daughter who was gothic.  She was so weird.  The queen had a helper lady who she ended up marrying in the end.  the helper had a son, who was actually the son of the queen's son.  The helpers son and the other daughter got married, but they were siblings.  Yeah. weird.  On Monday we went to the Royal Palace.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  The rest of the day, Tosha and I went to look for a hostel for that night.  We found an amazing little place for the two of us.  

Then on Tuesday we left for Dublin.  We arrived there, and the people are so nice.  I mean really nice.  Wow.  That night it snowed so we didn't do much.  The next day we toured the entire city of Dublin.  amazing.  My favorite thing that I saw was seeing a page of a Bible dating 150AD.  It was the oldest known until the found the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 60's.  It was so cool.  In our hostel which was amazing btw.  (If anyone goes to Dublin stay in Abrahamson house)  We had 3 french girls, 2 spanish girls, and a northern Ireland girl.  They were all very nice.  On Thursday we went on a bus tour to the country of Ireland, which was covered in snow.  But still everything was green.  That night we went to the airport,but all the flights were cancelled  due to the snow.  We slept in the airport that night.  We were there for almost 24hrs.  They don't have snowplows in Ireland.  We returned to Spain early bc it was supposedly worse in London.  It has been great though.  I am glad that we returned early.
