Today I went on a little walk...

So today my plan was to go to Parque de Attraciones. When I arrived this is what I saw (picture on the left)! It sure was beautiful, but it was deserted and looked hella sketch.

 Though Madrid is relatively safe, this does not look like a place a young foreign woman should wonder off alone. I got scared and hopped right back on el metro! I did not want to get lost. This adventure would be best with others! Maybe another day..

Instead of going home, I made the executive decision to get off at a different stop, Plaza de Espana! What a great decision it was!

Plaza de Espana!

So I got off the metro and I thought I was where I usual end up en el centro pero no fui! I did some walking and I ended up at some of the most beautiful sites, I've seen in Madrid thus far! I arrived at this beautiful park! 

Parque de Oeste!

Templo de Debod- ancient Egyptian temple

beautiful aerial views of the city!

Creepy as Mickey Mouse again! Seems like he's all over Madrid!

As I was walking out of the park, I stumbled upon a garden. 

Rosaleda de Ramon Ortiz. I also saw other things but that caught my attention but because of the my past experience of getting lost, I tried not to get off track. BTW, it is extremely easy to get lost in Madrid. The streets are not connected. Therefore you must be very careful!

Side note: I kept getting a lot of stares and catcalls today! All day I was wondering if I was dressed scandalous but I was not in my opinion and my roommates! I don't know what was up.
