so yesterday we took another adventure into Madrid by ourselves to go to some of the museums because sundays are always free. We hit up el Reina Sofia, one of the most famous art museums in Madrid and I got to see la Guernica, one of Picasso's most famous paintings, and I saw some pretty cool Salvador Dali paintings. There was a lot of modern art and just weird art. the museum is four floors and each floor is huge, so by the end of it we were so worn out! we didn't make it to the rastro (the outdoor market that i was so excited for) and the prado was only free from 5 to 8 at night, so we decided to save that for a different day. We hopped on a train to come back to Alcala and ended up taking an hour and a half train ride to who knows where! we ended up going in a huge loop around madrid and then ended up back at the station Atocha where we started. we then had to take a different train back to Alcala and this time it worked. dad you'll be happy, it turns out i kind of have a job here as well! i replied to a posting on the school's website to help a nine year old boy with his english homework twice a week thinking that someone else had already gotten it, but she emailed me right back! Its 10 euros an hour which is only 20 a week, but thats about $30 more every week to put in my travel fund! three days until Paris!
