A Friday Night in Madrid






















This was an adventure. We had a phone call from the other American family in our ward (The Dixon's) they left earlier than us for the trip to Madrid (Stake Temple trip) they had found a movie theater in Madrid that playes movies in original english form. They went to see "New moon" or rather "Luna neuvo" When they got there it was sold out so they were going to the 12:30 pm showing. Did we want to go....No, but 2 of my girls did so I went with them. At this theater they had assigned seating so we didnt need to show up too early. Once we got our way to the theater we sat at a cafe and had "chocolate caliente" and 'churos" yummy! Then we went to the movie and the girls love it and are so excited they saw it before it was even released in the states!



Then on our way back from the movie we had trouble getting onto the Temple grounds (there is a hostel there that we were staying at) aparently they dont let you in after midnight. We had no idea

and had no where to go and couldnt figure out how to get in. I sent Logan and our friend Riley over the fence to trip the sensor to open the gate. It didnt work. It must have been shut off. So I sent them to run to get the Dads to help figure out how to get us into the grounds. Shotly after they took off running the security guard came out and they didnt run to him for help but rather from him as though they had stolen something or broke a law! He chased them, then came and yelled at us in Spanish and finaly let us in!

All in all a typical Friday Night in madrid!
