Madrid, How I've miss you...

Back again!

So it is currently about 6:45pm in Madrid, Spain and I'm writing from my hostel that I will be staying at for the next 18 days...

This was the first flight internationally that I've ever taken alone so I was a bit nervous. It started with my sister, Melissa, dropping me off at the airport at the wrong terminal...ooops, (no one's fault). I hoped on a tram to take me to the right terminal and was estatic to see two of my besties, Bridget and Christina sending me off on my way to Espana. I got VIP treatment the whole way...went through the quick security for 1st Class and Priority Seating VIP people :) and my luggage was also overweight but they let me through.

Anyways, quick flight to Washington, then a loooong flight to Spain. It seemed like the majority of the people were studying abroad, it definately brought back memories. I realized that I left Spain exactly on this day, one year ago!

So once I got to Spain I was a lost puppy. I successfully made it through the metro to the train....Then I met this German guy that noticed we were both trying to go to the same hostel. He thought he knew where he was going, and I was trying to go the opposite way (I was right, he was wrong...:)) Long story short, we made it to the hostel but couldn't check in because it was 8:30am and check in was at 12. I went for a run and never ended up running because I got lost. Silly me, wore short shorts and forgot how much of a tourist I looked like...kiss noises and whistles only made me walk quicker to finally stumble accross my hostel! So after a shower and getting settled in, I'm ready for some comida. I'm heading out for some food with people in my hostel and then meeting up with some others. Wish me luck :)
