So today was my very first day in Madrid! It started off great... at 4 in the afternoon. Yes, Helen (roommate) and I slept until 4 P.M. There is a first time for everything! You might be thinking "Wow. That girl had a rough night." but no... I was just jet lagged. I actually slept a total of 15 hours which lent to my lethargy this afternoon. However, lethargy did not prevent Helen and I from exploring our new "ciudad." We went on an excursion and ended up at a park! This park made me reconsider my american citizenship- it was that amazing. It had a driving range, soccer fields, cafes, rose gardens, a wading pool and a running track. We have decided to visit this park "todos los dias," if not to run then to do homework and read, or just be together as amigas.
Tonight we had an amazing dinner of gazpacho (una sopa favorita) and tortillas (not the american kind that is either corn or flower, but this is an actual dish here in Espana made of eggs and potatos!). For dessert Helen and I ate the rest of the gummy candy we bought today at the market.
Tomorrow we have class from 9-2:30 and then we plan on taking a siesta. I have yet to meet any spanish friends however I did manage to get us lost on the metro. Besides the rice that tasted strangely like the underbelly of salmon, things in Madrid have been pretty mild.
Until manana!!
