Landinggg! (May 14)

So we are finally here in Madrid. As soon as they opened the doors the cold hit us. It is supposed to be hot here, right? Anyways, let's talk about this flight..I got on and all of the overhead bins for checked bags were full. Like people were ruthless. Smh. Then, the "food" they served was nasty. I didn't have snacks this time because I didn't have enough time to go get any beforehand. =( It was horrible. I didn't eat anything, but the peanuts they handed out.

Now, back to Madrid. Madrid is beautiful! I have never seen anything like it before. True enough, this is my first time out of the country, but still this is amazing. This city is huge. The buildings are big and close together. They are really "space conscious". Let me explain.

We arrive at the hotel. The elevators are TINY. Like, only two or three people could fit at most depending on how much luggage you have with you. Without luggage, four or five can fit. The rooms are tiny too. I have a single room since I am here a day early and I had to pay for tonight. This room is tiny. And it smells. The bathroom has a toilet and a urinal. The shower is set up backwards. This is weird, but I am embracing it. I flew in with the Sevilla group. My group will be here tomorrow. All of the people in the Sevilla group are pretty nice. I like them. I hope my group is just as great. I will be here in Madrid until Saturday, because that is when my group leaves for Cadiz. I am about to go on a walking tour with the Sevilla group. I will edit this later.

Walking around Madrid has been breathtaking! It is so beautiful. We saw the Royal Palace. We didn't go inside, though. I think we will do that tomorrow with my group. The people here are really into fashion. I'm not big on the food (mostly tapas and seafood), but luckily they have a Burger King and McDonald's. Everyone knows how picky I am with food. Lol. I will try to go out of my comfort zone and try more foods while I am here. I just don't want to get sick. So I have to check what everything is made with and how it's cooked. Well, I am about to sleep now.

Later,
