New Pics

European drivers are amazing. I hope you can see in this picture that they park so close, that these two cars are actually touching at the bumber. No matter where you go, cars are piled on top of each other. But at the same time, hardly ever will you see vans or SUVs, in fact I don´t think I´ve seen a single suburban the whole time I´ve been here. Tiny cars are how you say "de moda" or "in style".
















This is the Fountain of Castilla in Madrid.










I´m standing in front of an entrance to Buen Retiro Park, which is behind the Prado, and goes for several blocks. The other picture to the left is a street with little shops, a lot with books. I even found a copy of "The Importance of Being Earnest" in Spanish.


This is inside the San Jeronimo church, also behind the Prado.
All of these pictures are some that I took yesterday when we were walking around Madrid. If I knew the names of all of them, then I would tell you, but I don´t, so I´m not. :)

This is a picture I took a couple days ago of that fountain right by my house. Every night the lights come on, and the fountain looks like this.

This is the Plaza de Cervantes in Alcala right by my school. It´s pretty big, and at various times of the day you can see people taking a "paseo".

This was a small group of us that went into Madrid yesterday. We try not to go with the whole group because we tend to draw attention to ourselves.

This is what you see right when you come out of the Atocha train station in Madrid. It´s like the center stop right by the Prado Museum, Fountain of Neptune, Agriculture Building, etc.

These little "smart cars" are super popular in European countries.

Check out these trash cans, you don´t have to touch the gross lid, you just use your foot to press down on the petal, and wha-la! It opens, germ-free!
