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*

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.

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.

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.
This is always the hardest post to write because I have to acknowledge that the trip is over and piling responsibilities back home take over. The night before was our last meal in Japan. Joanna said let’s close it out with a bang and get Okonomiyaki one last time.
