Madrid, Spain


This is the center of Spain.


Spain is known for its delicious tapas and we ate as much as we could while we were there. At this particular tapas bar you would eat the shrimp and throw the excess on the floor. Pretty funny.





Bull heads on the wall.

Mystery meat - we found out later it was tripe.



On the way back to our hotel after dinner we stumbled across flying toilet paper in the street. A homeless lady had strung toilet paper to the vents in the street. After we had taken a picture she asked for money for her "art"!

Madrid, Spain - Bullfight



While in Madrid we were lucky enough to see a bullfight. The Las Ventas arena in Madrid is the most famous in Spain and was built in 1929. The fight lasted a few hours and we saw six different bulls.


The six Matadors







Bavarian Fests

Over the course of our time here we have gone to many fests so I thought I would just post some pictures of the more recent ones we have been to.

-Erlangen Fest-



It started pouring rain and these people continued to sit at their table
under a plastic bag.






-American Bavarian Fest-



The guys made a German friend (Chuck) during the fest and
he was a great addition to our table of friends.





During one of the songs everyone puts their benches on top
of the tables and sits on them while singing. It was crazy to watch (we did not participate!)
