The wonder that is Madrid


Tonight was an amazing night. Not only did I get to spend it with great people, we had a great dinner at a super fancy and good restaurant and then proceeded to Templo de Debod.


On our way there, to our surprise, we heard some opera music. It sounded live so we were intrigued. After some deliberation as to where it was coming from we found out it was coming from the Templo! Quickly we walked there and BAM! The entire temple was lit up beautifully with red light and there were people performing Aida under it. We were amazed that tonight we just happened to stumble upon the performance of Aida at the temple! What are the chances? Well, we only heard the end of the opera, but it was still more than amazing and fantastic.
After the people filed out of the area of the temple, we moved on to sit on the grass by the playground. After a discussion about how we wished we were still children so we could play on the playground without looking like freaks or a threat of breaking the stuff meant for under 12 year olds, Mac n' Cheese and I went to the playground and played. It was the most satisfying thing I have done in a long time. New favourite toy? It looks like a toilet plunger and just spins uncontrollably.


This picture from weheartit.com basically sums up the entire experience.
