free ice cream and soaring temperatures...

So I thought I may as well update whenever the thought crosses my mind!

Today we went to see Goyas Tomb, which was pretty cool. I don't exactly know much about it, it's like a dome chapel, and he painted the roof etc with fresco, so it's sometimes known as 'Goyas Sistine Chapel' but probably about 1/8 as impressive. It was pretty, but not really awe inspiring. He is buried there as well, and without a head! I haven't really got to the bottom of this story yet.. but if anyone knows.. let me know!

We then decided to nip up to Sol (where else?) and we discovered it was free ice cream day! Yaaay! So we got to Ben & Jerrys and waited in line for half an hour.. for one scoop of ice cream. SO worth it though.. especially since one scoop is €2,90 usually! Crazy. I had baked alaska, then we went for lunch, came back and had caramel chew chew.. or something. Yummyy yum.

We went to lunch at 'Maestro Churrero' as it's Felicia's last week, and her favourite place to eat. I had a ham&cheese sandwhich (so similar to those you get at Anahi/Mirasol, yummy) and we paid an extra €1 for the privilege of sitting in the sun! Crazy. Soft drinks were €3,30 so we sneakily nipped across to a small shop next to the cafe to get a can of fanta for just €0,85.. living like a student already? loves it.

Emily made a friend on the metro today, totally awesome. She did a me and just took a seat because standing up isn't too fun, next to this guy with the cutest dog, and it basically fell in love with her. Tried to eat her bag alsoo...She had thoughts of snaffling it into her bag but no :(.

So now I'm home, sat in the garden , struggling to see my screen with a schweppes naranja straight from the fridge. Yum. I love Spain.
