Wandering the streets of Madrid

These last two days have been very long but mostly in a good way. And the time change and lack of sleep probably contributes to that.
We wandered around last night and eventually settled on eating at this sandwich place and got sangria too. We stayed out a little longer then came back to the hostal, got ready for bed, and crashed around 11. Unfortunately, I woke up around 3 and never really fell back asleep. We all got up around 6:30 and ate breakfast around 8. The breakfast was so good! So was the coffee. :)
Liz and I wandered around more after breakfast and came back to get ready for orientation. Lunch was provided by Accent at the restaurant next to us and was really good too. I didn't finish all of it. Afterwards, we had the orientation and then a walking tour.
After the tour, people could stick around and watch the three kings parade or do their own thing. They're still celebrating Christmas here because they get most of their gifts tomorrow because that's when the three wise men came with gifts. Therefore, most of the town is closed down tomorrow and we have a scavenger hunt. Anyways. We didn't watch the parade - we came back here to pick up some things and headed out. Stopped by the souvenir place first. Then the market to get some cheese, bread, and drinks. I tried a rose wine and more sangria to celebrate my birthday a day late and Megan's birthday a day early, Then we went to the Chocolateria and had chocolate con churras - delicious!
We came back and the girls I was with left to find a discoteca but I stayed to take a shower and be here in time for my skype date with my mom. I would've liked to have gone but since I don't have a phone it's hard to rearrange skype dates.. plus I wasn't entirely in the mood.
So tomorrow we plan to go to the Prado museum, do the scavenger hunt, and figure out other stuff to do I guess. Then Thursday morning we pack up and head to Granada! I'm excited to get there and get settled then be able to get into a routine. I can't wait to run again. :)
