So, I suppose I should rename this "Kathleen's Much Neglected Blog About Madrid." I have honestly been busy these last couple of weeks, though.
Since I last posted I have...
*taken 20,000 pictures in Granada.
*strolled leisurely through el Parque del Retiro.
* Seen lots of unliscenced Harry Potter merch in Prague.
*Had the best Italian food of my life (also in Prague).
* tried Prosecco in Venice.
* learned to play Texas Hold 'Em (the Venetians just call it 'Texas').
* Stayed in a bizarre/amazing hostel full of characters.
* Won a whole three Euro in said game of Texas.
* eaten pasta and doner kebabs more than I should admit.
* ridden a gondola in a Venetian river.
* Followed Rick Steves (Rick!) wherever he lead me.
* Found an anime store buried in Noveciados.
* spent amazing time with amazing people in one of my favorite cities in the world.
I have NOT...
*found an apartment for senior year (takers, anyone?).
*kept in touch with a lot of wonderful people.
*worked on my senior thesis as much as I should.
* learned to appreciate Spanish food.
*figured out the Buho (night bus).
* started applying to grad schools.
* Figured out what I want to do with the rest of my life...suggestions, anyone?
Right now my aunt Minnie is visiting which is AMAZING!!!! Today we had lunch by the park, went to the Reina Sofia museum, and ate turkish food for dinner (mmm, hummus!).
By the way, on an entirely unrelated not, check these people out. "Sleepyhead" is AMAZING! http://www.myspace.com/passionpitjams

El Alhambra in Granada.
Venice, city of bridges. Also, Venice, city of cheap wine and tourists.
Prague!
