the mister asked what i wanted for my birthday. i said i dont want paperweights (he laughed because his first gifts to me were paper weights... all lovely but one is really enough). i said i dont want stuffed toys (he knows i dont like useless things.. theyre cuddly and cute yes, but after that they just gather dust). i said i dont want material things (i can buy them on my own, thank you). so what do you want? he asked again. i said i want moments. i want experiences. something that will stay in my memory forever. okay, he said, what about a trip to madrid? needless to say, i had a huge smile on my face and he got a huge hug in return :)
the San Jeronimo Cathedral very near the Prado museum where we spent hours people-watching and art-browsing
in the Buen Retiro Park where our national hero Jose Rizal used to hang out and write poems :D
inside the Mercado de San Miguel... very posh but also very Spanish
enjoying my most-awaited paella arroz con negro.. made with squid ink...wooooowweeeee!!! i ate every last grain!
and then at the end of our journey when we were so tired, we decided to take a nap in one of the green lawns in the Retiro Park while listening to the strums of a Spanish guitar...it was a lovely day and we literally snored! all in all, we loved Madrid :D
