Wooooo, First Entry!

Ok long overdue first entry to Ryan's Spain Blog!  So first month down, and I have to say, you know what?  Spain is pretty cool.  It started out a little early and exhausting..

I walked down this exact staircase after 20 hours of traveling!

but once I realized where I was going..

Disregard the Free Checked Bag.  It is NOT true.

I got pretty excited again.  This city is so great for so many reasons, but my personal favorite right now is that it has the feel of a huge American city (SF, NY) but all around you are monuments, 6 story buildings with balconies, and other beautiful works of architecture that mark it as strikingly different from anywhere in the United States.  What's that?  You'd like to see some of these pieces of architecture and fountains?
Well, all right.

Retiro Park, Parque de Buen Retiro

Fuente de Neptuno

 WOOOO!!! So that's Madrid so far.  See you soon!
