Madrid

Jeritza this one is for you, the Spanish Winnie the Pooh - How cute!!


Behind me is the Plaza Mayor, we were lucky to have been 3 blocks away from it.

Our first stop on this trip was Madrid, the capitol of Spain. Once we arrived at the airport we caught the metro, its looks similar to DC's. Unfortunetly, apart from the Architecture which is beautiful, I did not find anything else that I liked: the food is not good, we tried the churros with its side of thick chocolate - do Spainers really drink it?


Below are pictures of a social hall the Caixa Forum renovated by Herzog & de Meuron







The Following was not a stop at the Hotel Puerta America designed by Jean Nouvel (core and shell as well as the lobby and one of the interior levels) The rest of the floors: Haza, Foster, and many more famous architecture!! Unfortunetly we were not able to see any of the suites, so who is cheaper you ask? Foster from about 160 Eu per night the most expensive is Nouvel!!!

About Me

My photo
So, this blog began as a way to place my pictures for my Photography class this summer and later a place where i can share some of my pictures with friends and family while in the Holy Land. Coinsidently, the Jerusalem abroad class wanted us to start adding our pictures to a blog so that we can share it with our school and have something else to show while we are gone. Another way to express where we've been and what we have done. I thought that is was a great idea, given the fact that i had already started the blog. :) Israel-The Holy Land! We have seen many places, met wonderful people, and have had the change to live in Jerusalem for one month in the land where once 2000 years ago Jesus was and lived. I am a student at the Catholic University of America. Currently working on my Master's of Architecture. I am originally from El Salvador and have lived in Washington, DC since 1989.
