Wine Day

Wine day was a fabulous day. We stopped in a cafe/bar near the Puerta del Sol to work on our homework. Had some local (and apparently famous) Tio Pepe, which was... errr not so good. But we talked to our waiter about our classes and he even helped us with a few. My bags thankfully arrived to the ISA office, and now I have clothes! We bought some wine to have with our dinner as well and then hung out with our señora. Which, p.s. she is amazing. Lots of jokes and learning new words... which, sorry Fernando, I will not write on here hahaha. The day was really laidback and fabulous all around. Still raining (got soaked on many occaisions)-- all yesterday and again today.

Tomorrow we are going to Toledo early in the morning, so I´ll get to tell you about that soon!

Jetlag free?

The third day in Spain has begun! Started the day handwashing some of my clothes so I have things to wear while I wait for my bags. Apparently, they came to the flat yesterday morning, but as we were gone, they could not leave the bags. But I asked the ISA office to redirect them to their building, but I have to wait until tomorrow or Friday. :( Anoche, it rained a LOT (and some hail-- so strange for this time of year!) Still pretty wet today as well. However, last night we had a totally amazing Madrid experience. Just below our flat is an amazing chocolateria, so Erika, Kas, and I went to work on our homework and have some churros con chocolate... yum! We´ve decided that we need to make it and the cafe next to it "our places." We are beginning to feel comfortable here, knowing our way around the streets of our neighborhood. But we have yet to explore the other areas of the city! Today, I have more class and hopefully more touring on our own... but its so hard to keep dry and walk the streets of the city at the same time!
