Vacationing in Madrid, Spain

A proper holiday is starting tomorrow bright and early.  Right now I'm doing laundry, cleaning and packing for a fun trip to Madrid, Spain with my sister and our frined.  First time I'll be using my passport following a trip to Paris 4 years ago (I'm not counting several trips to Canada).

Looking forward to exciting culinary experiences.  I've already decided that my first meal in Madrid (upon 7am arrival) should be churros and hot chocolate.  Salut to making it happen.

***I just recently returned back to Spain, visiting Barcelona this time around***
Check out my photos and thoughts from the trip here:
