Turns out I'm not quite used to walking everywhere yet, and I've been covering some ground over the course of the last three weeks. Sadly enough, it aggravated the ankle I twisted last fall, so I'd appreciate some prayer for that.
Yesterday, I ventured into southwestern Malasaña to explore a bit. Thought you would enjoy seeing the area also :).

| Someone had painted this statue's face, which I found interesting. |

Today it was obvious the foot could use some rest. So after spending the morning at the apartment, I crossed the street and went to a cafe nearby. Café Comercial was founded in 1887 and is full of charm. We walk by it every time we venture into Malasaña and notice that it's usually pretty busy. Ashley and Nikki spent some time there the other day, so I knew it was a good place to do some reading, studying, and journaling.
After selecting a spot, I ordered some water and a little jamón treat before getting out my journal. Turns out that I was either given free chips, or they came with my snack. I don't know, but they were a nice surprise :).

As I was finishing up, Nikki and Erin joined me for some café con leche (coffee with milk). We had a lovely chat, then walked back to the apartment. All in all, it was a refreshing way to spend a Sunday afternoon :).
