Spain

In March, I had the opportunity to visit my friend  Diana in Madrid, Spain.  She is getting her Masters there (super jealous as I am getting mine in Kansas...)  Diana has been chronicling her journey here.  During Di's time there, she stumbled upon this interesting list of "100 Things to do in Madrid Before You Die."  She decided to complete this list before she comes back this summer.  Many of the items on the list are things I wanted to see or do.  We were discussing this list when I first arrived and Di (or one of her friends) suggested that I see how many I could complete in my week in Madrid.  Challenge accepted!  Throughout the next several blog posts, I will be sharing the 40 things I crossed off the list during my 6 days in Madrid!

#27 See the Royal Palace and the East Plaza

View inside the courtyard

The Palacio Real from inside the courtyard

The inside was ridiculous...sadly you weren't allowed to take photos inside.  Well,  did manage to get one photo before they told me not to:

Obviously I got a pic of the lion statue!
