Madrid

Well, we´ve finally made it to Spain! Now the real fun of having to speak spanish all the time begins. We tried to eat lunch at a nice restaurant yesterday, but apparently high school spanish did not cover fine dining vocabulary and we failed miserably. In case anyone wants to know ¨chapatas¨ are nothing like chalupas. They are hard bread filled with cold, fatty meat. No cheese, no lettuce, no nothing. Anyway, our five star hotel is amazing and we are getting plenty of rest. We are also spending a lot of our time waiting for the other students arrive and brushing up on our spanish by watching ¨the magic schoolbus¨ in espanol each morning. Tonight is our first group meeting followed by a city bus tour.
