I made it!

Hola a todos!

Hello friends! I actually made it to Spain! It was quite an adventure that left me very tired & somewhat frustrated at some points, but I am happy to say we're here and were getting the ball rolling already! We left El Paso wednesday morning at 9:16 am, since it was delayed the very kind airline booker re-routed us from the EPT to Dallas on a direct flight to Madrid. It was pretty awesome! We were scheduled to go from EPT--->Dallas---> NYC----> Madrid. It was about a 9 hour flight and they fed us dinner and breakfast. The food was really good! For dinner we had lasagna, a side salad, a dinner roll, and a granola bar thing. For breakfast they served a warm croissant & strawberry yogurt which set in my stomach well, wasnt overfilling, wasnt too light, it was just right. I sat next to this really cool lady, she backpacks around the world every summer! This summer she will be backpacking around Europe! We were happy to land in madrid, then we got our luggage and got in a taxi. Man was that a little nerve wrecking, just because we couldn't speak spanish very well & the cab driver didnt know english. Once we got to the train station we journeyed around until we bought our bilettos(tickets). The train was really cool! By the time we got on it we were just exhausted so we were in & out of sleep. We then got a taxi to our hotel. Our hotel is nice. Its not super fancy like a hilton or anything but its nice for a college student studying abroad in Spain. We are off to dinner at 8:30, I am pretty hungry because I haven't eaten since breakfast. From Lubbock there is a 7 hour time difference! So its about 8:15 pm here, so it's about 1:15 pm LBK time. I must say its pretty cool living in your future! haha I wish I could tell you more about the city but I haven't seen much of it. More to come soon! Hasta Luego!
