New Year's Eve!

I was still new in Madrid, so the rose colored glasses were firmly in place. I was loving every minute of learning about the city, seeing the buildings, and getting used to finding new places to go. I arrived to Madrid on 28 December, 2013... so guess what the third day was: NEW YEAR'S EVE!! That's right, I was about to ring in the New Year in my new city. It was still so surreal, and I really didn't have plans for the night. I knew I had to go somewhere, because my hostel let us know that they would be closed, so the employees could go out as well. Pretty cool of them, I think. 
I teamed up with the Wrecking Crew: Jay, Sebastian, Sophia, and Maria, and we made plans to hit the town running. 

We made our way to Sol, armed with Sangria, Tinto de Verano, and of course: grapes. 
Jay werkin' on Gran Vía.

I love the Cmas decorations around town. This one is at Sol.

Here's another one around the center.

The lights over Gran Vía.

The tree in Gran Vía. 

Jay and the tree.

O Hai, that's me!

Twerkin' around... the Christmas tree...

Really, the decorations are quite lovely.

More lights.


When we arrived, we found the police confiscating liquor, so we decided to drink it all right there. Of course, there were more pictures taken while we drank:
