parents in town

well this past friday my parents came into town along another couple, the duartes, and that couples brother and sister in law. first off my parents drove the rental car to my school and came and picked me up and then my dad proceeded to almost kill us on the way to my apartment. then i gave my folks the grand tour of my apartment and my mom said that the last time i slept in a bed that small was when i slept in my crib. that night we went out to eat and my parents thought the place was bad but it was the best meal i had eaten in the past month so i don´t know what that says about either of us. then i took my parents and the other couples to a salsa club but they didn´t dance too much bc they were tired even tho it was pretty early...i guess that´s what happens when you get old....haha jk...anyways on saturday we went to el prado which is the most famous museum here and it´s HUGE and there is just no way you can see all of it in one day. then we went to eat and then we did some shopping before they headed back to the hotel. after some siestas we met up again to....eat. notice the theme of how me and my parents spend our time?? this time we went to the guiness book of world records´ oldest restaurant. good times. then we walked around and i tried to control all the crazy old people. sunday we went to a bull fight which was really traumatizing and somewhat sickening. i´ve been before but i just didn´t remember how gruesome it truly is. then that night we went to dinner at this GREAT aregentian restaurant that apparently penelope cruz recommended in some magazine. delicious. i brought my roomie lauren and we were like WOW we will never eat at a restaurant this nice ever again. so naturally we stuffed ourselves. then today my parents left for barcelona with their friends and they will be back on friday to spend some more time here in madrid. then today i gave a crappy presentation in class and i think i might fail out of school. not really but the presentation did in fact suck. ahhh. anyways i am going to go now and try to find some food, something cheap now that the rents are gone. adios amigos.
