Day 2

Today was the most amazing day! We met so many people. We took our first subway into Madrid and it was absolutely gorgeous. On the way there we met an Italian boy who not to brag or anything but said that Texas girls are very beautiful and Italian girls couldn't compare! :) His name was like Machomozarella but I just kinda made that up cause I couldn't understand what he said. Then we got off and met many more Italian people. They're EVERYWHERE. It seems like theres more of them then actual Spanish people. We walked down to a restaurant and everyone was so excited to see our shirts that said Texas. It felt like we were famous cause everyone wanted pictures and to talk to us. They would all tell their friends "Look they're from Texas!" in a really cool accent. Once we got to the restaurant there were tons of people from Canada. After we left the restaurant we met MORE Italian people. We walked sooo many miles to try to find the actual WYD gift shop in the mall. We found it and along the way met people from Ireland. They were taking a survey or something. Then we got to go shopping! Supposedly you can't sit on the floors cause these men in red suits will come up and tell you to get up but in Spanish. And absolutely no pictures allowed in there. You had to keep walking. So we were always on the move, our feet hurt so bad! After the mall we got ice cream and rested. Then we walked to Cibellas (spelling?) where thousands of people were. They were blasting American music like Katy Perry, and Rhianna. And everyone from everywhere knew the songs! We tried to get to a museum but we decided meeting people was way more fun. We stopped to get water where we made a friend in the line for the bathroom and met a girl from Germany. She gave me her name to add her on facebook! We traded people from EVERYWHERE! I now have pins from South Korea, China, Portugal, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, France, ITALY, South Africa, and many others! We followed the group to the area where mass was. We were about one block away from the actual mass, the streets were crowded! We ended up sitting by French people and we played Uno with them, then two Italian guys came over and played with us too. Mass began and we watched it on a screen. It was really cool to see everyone doing the exact same thing, just in a different language. We quickly tried to find a place to eat but it was packed in every restaurant. We took the Subway and stood next to French people. Where I failed at my attempt to speak French. But I could understand them and when they were looking for words I could feed it to them! They said that even though everyone thinks they hate Americans, they said they loved them! While we were on the subway we played "Teradactale. We had some people staring at us strangely! Then me and a few other people screamed at the rest of our group and scared them to death! We ended up eating at Burger King where Dominique ran into a glass wall thinking it was an entry. It was really funny. Now it's really late, all of us girls might have a sleepover tonight. Can't wait for tomorrow :)
