Before I jump into trip stuff we’ve got to start with the life updates first! I had my regular 6 month oncology check up at Mayo clinic with Dr. Costello.
The trip to Madrid went pretty smoothly. It took 8 hours to fly from Minneapolis to Amsterdam. I watched a movie and worked on this blog so really only got a 20 minute nap in. Arrived at 6am local time which was like 10pm at home. 3 hour layover and then a 2.5 hour flight to Madrid.

Yesterday was our first full day in Madrid. A co worker of mine recommended that we check out El Rasto Market which is a flea market only available on Sundays. We grabbed a quick breakfast at a bakery and then walked about 20 minutes to the outdoor market. I was not expecting there to be SO many people.

Now that we got all the shopping done yesterday, today was a day to get out of the crowds and immerse ourselves in the fancy schmancy culture of Madrid. *pinkie up*

It’s train day! One of my favorite travel days of a trip because I love riding trains so much. They’re fast, efficient, and a very comfortable way of getting around.
