Dunkin Donuts.......in MADRID!

Last night we had a night out on the town. There was quite a large group of us that all went. Clubs here in Spain don’t open until 1 am so we first went to a ball called Why Not? I wore new heels I just bought and on the way to the metro they were already killing me so you can imagine my feet by the end of the night. I shouldn’t have bought them because I now know my poor little square toes are squished in them.

The place felt like you were entering a bomb shelter because you went down stairs as soon as you entered and there were no windows. It was a nicely decorated bomb shelter though. The ceiling actually looked like a curved embellished ceiling you’d find in a museum or palace. They were playing good music but it was too small so there was no room to dance. Leslie had told me that in Spain they are always giving free drinks away and tonight the bartenders were doing this just like she said. Alex was asking around where we should go after this and the guy directed us to his friends place and said we would get in for free and could get free drinks. It was close by so we figured we’d give it a go and if it stunk we could just leave and not have lost anything.

We walked in and it was empty. There were two other guys there and that was it so it was like our own private party for awhile which was awesome. Christina from crew went upstairs and they were letting her control the lighting effects. We were all dancing away and they were playing really fun music! They played a lot of Brittany and Spice Girls so Mauricio was in heaven. I requested the thong song just to be funny. It was a really fun night; I just wish I had been wearing flats!

This morning I got to catch up with Brittany at breakfast who has been gone for 6 weeks. She along with Sasha, one of the Russian got back today. The excitement of the day was finding a Dunkin Donuts! It was actually called Dunkin Coffee. Me and Alex, my fellow Mass buddy were both stoked although it didn’t quite live up to the ones at home. I think I was more excited to just see something so familiar. Probably the only hot chocolate I really like in the world is Dunk’s so I ordered some but the crazy European version was horrid in my eyes. I’m sure lots probably would like it even more. It resembled thick drinking chocolate but it didn’t have the creamy milk chocolate taste it has in the taste. This was slightly bitter and I couldn’t drink it. My French cruller was delightful though! We also checked out this Temple that was given to Spain as a gift from Egypt.
