Plaza de España

What a day! I went to church in the Almudena Cathedral this morning, then saw a bunch of people in from of the royal palace doing some sort of yoga / taichi thing. Once they were done I saw in the Sabatini Gardens for a few hours taking care of some bills on my phone all the while people watching. For lunch, I went to a Mexican restaurant and had a burrito. It was decent and it filled me up real good! The next few hours (say like 3!) were spent at this plaza, Plaza de España. You may ask, why did I spend hours at this plaza? Well tonight was a meetup of language assistants in the program. At 6:30 pm we started to gather and we all just mingled for a while. A few minutes later we formed a circle and introduced ourselves and said something interesting about our lives. The people who found things in common obviously started to form groups. I on the other hand was the awkward kid who nobody wanted to talk to. Until! The nice Belgian people waved at me signaling come over. What a relief! If they didn't call me I might have just left. The Belgians were going to be French language assistants. We talked the whole time and hopefully we can become good friends.
