Hola!!

Arrived in Madrid this morning at 8:05 am...about 2 am for you all in the states... I lucked out and not only had an isle seat but an open seat next to me... talk about lucky! AND one of my new Facebook Friends, Cody, was on the flight too so its nice to actually know someone and have a legit friend to find an apartment with and explore Mérida!.

Also met some fellow Language Assistants and even traveled with one on the Metro! So glad I only packed 1 big bag wasn't not too bad traveling trough the metro (and only cost 1 euro as opposed to like 40 for a taxi!)

I'm now staying at Las Musas hostal (www.lasmusas.com)... Pretty new and clean and trying to make some friends for an afternoon of travel. I am not really sure what I'll get into today besides going to the train station to get my ticket for tomorrows trip to orientation in Caceres.

But time to go start practicing my spanish again bc its a little bit rougher than I though!

BESOS!

Spain in one week.. too much to do this week ( and alumni weekend on friday SHOOOT!)

Going to check out Thread tomorrow this store in the south wedge... because clearly I need to go shopping before I leave!

Time for bed..buenos noches!

Countdown to Spain

My Spanish adventure begins in 9 days, and as you can imagine I am bundle of nerves and excitement. Packing has slowly started but nothing too monumental yet.

As this is my first "blog" I am going to keep it short, but Extremadura better be ready for me!
