Getting used to it all.

2:30 Local/ 7:30 AM Nashville

I have been up for 24 hours straight to this point.

So, I have landed here in Madrid and everything is great. It feels just like a regular city except that everyone drives a little faster and speaks only Spanish. I’ve been trying to use the Spanish that I know but everyone seems to want to speak English. With that said, I am really looking forward to getting to Santander where it is not so touristy. Once we got off of the bus, we made our way to the Hotel Paseo Del Arte, a very nice place in the heart of Downtown Madrid. After meeting in the lobby and getting rid of all of our luggage, we all took off on an excursion around the city to find some food and drinks. A few of the girls and I, Kirsten, Jill, and Ashley all stopped off for some papas and sangria. We were just hungry and wanted to drink. As of now, I’m back in the room after buying a few souvenirs desperately fighting Jetlag by writing this entry and working on some homework. We’ll see how it all works out. The plan is to go out tonight because, it’s Friday night in Madrid and we are here! What other reason is there?
