ouch....

...short and simple, I got sunburned TWICE this weekend. Soooo nice in Spain these days. On Saturday my friend Taryn and I hit up a town an hour out of Madrid called Alcala de Hernares. I've never taken the train yet, and am glad I didn't know the history of the one I was one! Turns out, four years ago nearly to the day, THAT train was the exact on that was bombed in Madrid. It was March 11th, right before presidential elections in 2004....Saturday was March 1st and the presidential elections are the 9th! Yikes. Either way, the town was sooo nice! It is the birthplace of Cervantes so we hit up the historical spots and then just chilled in the plaza for a day of people watching. Families out for the day, old men and women out for walks....just a fun European day! Today I went to Retiro park and took a nap for a bit....woke up super red from the sun! Can't believe the weather is so nice here ALREADY! wow.
