Day 1: Madrid

First thing I noticed about the city is it's obsession with one way streets and pastry. Buildings are close to each other giving an almost claustrophobic feeling. Walked into a bakery and I see a line of pastries labelled '-diabetos' or something along those lines. I remembered thinking how it sounded like the word diabetes, which is not surprising seeing how much sugar it had. 

I spent the rest of the day studying the city map, figuring out where I was and where I wanted to go. Too tired to actually do any touristy stuff on the first day. Still recovering from Dublin. You can go hard or you can go home!
