Real Madrid football game! I knew I could not go to Madrid without going to a soccer (but actually futbol) game! They played against Real Valladolid and they won! Even more, Bale scored his first hat trick in Spanish football so we were part of history!
Best part of the night: realizing the sirvesa I had bought was non-alcoholic. Classic.
The Christmas tree lighting in Puerta del Sol!! Madrid has a "Christmas Tree" (basically a large yellow metal structure that's pretty ugly) but they have a lighting ceremony that we went to! You can walk into the base of the tree, so we were in it when it lit up! They turn all the Christmas lights on at one time in the city, so that night all the streets were lit up!

Boston College put on a Thanksgiving dinner for the BC en Madrid program at a restaurant, where we all dressed up and ate a turkey dinner! It was nice to have a piece of home because having all our families be together without us was probably the hardest part of study abroad. Our host families were invited and we celebrated the holiday together! It was a lot of fun and also the food was amazing! (Pumpkin AND apple pie for dessert, hell yeah!)
More events to be updated as I do more things! :)
