Friends, Fun, and Sun

The first thing I would like to say is that it has reached 70F here!!! I am so excited!

So this past week has been pretty chill. The only really crazy thing that happened was last weekend a famous Italian house dj duo came to one of the clubs in Madrid. Now usually house music and dubsteps not my thing, but all my friends were going and it was just a great time. There dj's were Crookers, Kill the Hipsters, and Mixtape (if anyone has any idea who they are) and I really enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. There were 10 of us that went and we had a great time. They literally spun until Sunday morning, meaning we ended up sleeping all Sunday afternoon. Oops!! But that's the Spanish thing!

The rest of the week was pretty chill. We had exams at the beginning of the week but luckily they were pretty easy. Last night we went to this chill bar that my host brother told me about. My friend and I were just looking for a bar that had live music and when I went to go google some options I came up with one and looked who was playing that night only to see that it was a cover band of the Beatles. So obviously we went there. They were actually pretty good, and it was a small place not really on the map or known by everyone.

Because it's been so warm we've all been spending as much time as we can in Retiro just laying out. The one thing I am so grateful about being here is that I actually have the time to just relax in the park. We'll go there for 2 or 3 hours and just sit and read, nap, listen to music, whatever. And even better, I'm walking everywhere now. We live the farthest out of everyone from most stuff so even to the park its about 40 min walk, but because it's so nice I don't care. I love how I for once have time just to chill and take the time to not worry about doing a million things.
