February?!

Wow its already February?! It seems like it was just Christmas...time flys. So today we were supposed to go to the Escorial (a palace an hour outside of Madrid) bit it started SNOWING and the roads were closed.(More about it: built 400 years ago to serve as a grand mausoleum for Spain´s royal family, a monastery, and school to ¨embrace humanism in a way that promotes the Catholic faith¨) So instead we took the Metro to the Natural Science Museum. It was like OMSI but OMSI is better but it was still fun and free! Then took the Metro back to the hotel and relexed for a while because it was so cold and wet outside. Plans for the rest of the day: little bit of shopping, the theater to see a play with the whole group, and a wonderful Spanish dinner.
