Arrival in Madrid

SO i've been pretty excited about heading to madrid...and i've told many people that i would be doing a blog so here goes!

i'll try to update with a few pictures every once in a while and put the main highlights up..

so madrid so far...

i'm loving the weather! its such a nice change from boston's weather. i love the apartment, plenty of space and very convenient to the school (only about a 5 minute walk) ..there is a building i pass on the way that is always swarmed with policia so i'm curious to find out what it is..

the airport misplaced my luggage, and trying to communicate was a tad difficult and frustrating..it all worked out when i showed up and demanded my equipajes! i'm anxious to see the night life and looking forward to a weekend trip to Seville

also i can't wait to go grocery shopping and get some fresh fruit!

surprising fact of the day:
it is considered offensive to walk around bare foot in your house (more applicable to students staying with host families)

hasta luego =)
