Well, greetings everyone. I arrived safely yesterday afternoon...or morning...or hmmm I'm not really sure. Anyways, I'm hanging out today at the all english school that employs the folks I'm staying with for a few days. The students are incredibly friendly-as are the neighbors, and I have had a blast getting used to the new scenery. *sigh* yes, peoples, I am on honeymoon with Spain. The landscape is amazing, the food is...different, and the people are very warm and friendly. I wasn't expecting that at all in Madrid...actually, I'm not really quite sure what I was expecting. But, this is better than anything i could have dreamed up. Now...I haven't taken very any pictures, as I am attempting to not look uber (yes, uber) touristy, but I can describe the landscape...okay, think washoe valley in the spring right after the snow melts off...and then add little pockets of duplexes and five-story apartment buildings, and you've pretty much got the idea. All the beauty of the countryside, with all the convenience of a large city.
Anyways, I'm very excited to be here right now. I was a little worried last night because I wasn't really looking forward to much except for a bed, but now that I've slept and the room has stopped spinning (Okay, its not what you're probably thinking. I couldn't really sleep the night before I left because I was antsy about the trip, and then I couldn't sleep on the plane, and then I couldn't sleep on the other plane...so I got about 4ish hours of sleep in a 48 hour period of time. Yikes!) *ahem* okay, anyways, now that the room has stopped spinning, I'm delighted to be here and explore this section of the globe. Oh, by the way, Spanish in Spain is (sing-song voice) crazy! I've been able to effectively communicate and haven't been asked to repeat myself, but I've definately had to think and rethink about what has just been said, and then it all makes sense and I can answer back. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon...Darn! my battery is on its deathbed. Talk to you soon, Bye!
