Madrid
[Filed 11:05PM, on a train somewhere between Mardrid and Barcelona, Spain.]
Well, I’m on the train from Madrid to Barcelona. It’s 10PM and we decided to take an overnight train to save ourselves the hostel fee and to avoid the ridiculous costs of taking one of the high speed trains. This one is an 8 hour journey overnight as opposed to what I think would be about a 3 hour trip otherwise. We couldn’t get couchettes or anything like that, so hopefully we’ll be able to get at least a little bit of sleep in our seats.
I haven’t been on a long distance train before – most, if not all of my train travel has been on NJ Transit trains between Pt. Pleasant and NYC – but this train is set up like the trains Harry Potter takes to Hogwarts. I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty cool. Now if only someone would walk around with chocolate frogs and those crazy colored jelly beans…
Anyway…back to Madrid…
