1/3/2015

Today has been a little tough and missing home already... I met another roommate today she's American but from Brazil so she speaks fluent Portuguese and Spanish. My other American roommate is kinda strange. And asks strange questions. Like "where can I go to make friends" but just very awkward about it. And has never owned a smart phone. But the other has been here for a month or so, so she showed us around a bit at some of the parks nearby. 
This was the royal palace again and below are some pictures from the garden next to it.
 
There was another park nearby that looked out all over Madrid and was a little bigger.
Also in the park is an Egyptian temple that they have to the Spaniards as a gift.
And then the three king holiday is coming up in the 6th which is bigger than Christians to them. So instead of going to sit on santos lap they sit on the three kings. It's kinda hard to see.

    I read that the Egyptian temple was brought to Spain in 1968. It was built in 200 BC. A bit older that things here.
