Madrid day #3

Ciao tutti!
Ok so we originally weren't planning on spending another day in Madrid, but the way the trains worked out we were able to. Last night we weren't able to go out because we were trying to find a last min hostel to stay in in Barcelona, up till 5 and no luck finding a hostel.
Anyways, the next morning we checked out of our hostel at noon, and then I went and got a pear pastry for breakfast. Then we just decided to walk around Madrid till we could have a nice lunch. We ended up almost making a complete square of Madrid. We walked so far!!! But we saw amazing architecture, the library, gave high fives to a random statue of a hand. haha
So its about 4 pm. by this point we are starving! so we tried to find a restaurant, but it took us a while. We ended up taking the metro to this other area, and we finally found a little restaurant/cafe and I had empanadas y gallas (i think), i had not idea what it was, it turned out to be this pastry thing with chicken and peppers. It was really good. Anyways, we went back to our hostel and got out bags and now we are waiting at the train station for our overnight train to Barcelona! We should get there around 7:15 tomorrow morning.
Arrivederci!
