Wrote this is in April...Its been a while since then with lots more updates, more to come!
After a busy spring break week, first Budapest, then Valencia and Sara visiting for a week, I got to relax by going to a Real Madrid Basketball game Friday and a Color Run Sunday. Im exhausted haha
But it's been such a fun past few weeks and today was easily one of the best days I've had in Madrid. Several weeks ago my roommates and I signed up for a 5k run, which was good motivation for me to get out and run every other day. However, today no one actuallllyyyy ran. Last night we took the shirts that they gave us and cut them up into different designs which made us stand out a bit more.
Everyone brought beer and and rolled around in the color pigments (which I found out used to be based on brightly colored spices like saffron and tumeric, now its commercial based water dyes or whatever). Every runner was given a small package of colors to get the party started, and then you started running through color "stations." Apparently the more color you have on yourself, the better luck you'll have the rest of the year.
So we walked a 5k while people were throwing colors at us and having a great time! At the end there was a 3 hour long dance party which was extremely fun...kind of ready to just have a relaxing week and weekend......
