This week the weather was looking up!! Throughout January, there were many a rainy day in Madrid, which is unusual! Madrid is known as being a pretty sunny city, just as the rest of Spain is known for being warm and sunny. This past week, it's been chilly (although not cold by Chicago standards) with a mixture of sun and rain.
The school I work at is about an hour and a half north of the city center of Madrid. This means that I take a bus up to las montañas (the mountains), where it is located. Along the route, I pass farms that house many horses and cows! I see them out everyday grazing. Earlier this week, I took a walk during my lunch hour and was able to see many cows grazing in a pasture. It was definitely the highlight of my week.
