I finally arrived in Madrid today! My flight left a little bit after 4pm from Dublin and arrived in Madrid at 7:20 local time. (we're ahead of Chicago 7 hours here). I had to take a cab from the airport to my home stay which gave me a great view of the city. When I arrived in the city, the sun was setting, so it was a beautiful view.
My home stay is in the middle of downtown, on a bustling street. My room has a great view onto the street below. There are 3 other girls from DePaul here and another girl from the states as well. There are 3 young guys here and the house father Eliseo and his wife too.
Tonight Eliseo cooked us a wonderful dinner of soup and steak which we ate at the traditional time of 9:30pm. There were a lot of us at dinner, so it's a lot of fun.
Tomorrow morning we have orientation with everyone else in the program. I'm very excited to begin my Spanish adventure here. It's good to finally settle in somewhere and be able to stay here awhile. Living out of a suitcase is only fun for so long. Unfortunately, I'm running out of clean clothes, so hopefully my other suitcase will arrive soon too :)

Lisa, your pictures are amazing! I am so excited for you! I can't help but get a little teary-eyed thinking about you so far away and so grown up. (whoa, that's 'old person' talk! Am I old? because I don't feel old) Anyway, I'm proud of you.
And thankful that you are blogging your adventures so that I can live vicariously through them. Your travels are a nice diversion for me. You got to see Big Ben, I got to change a big poopy diaper. You went to Westminster Abby, I went to Jewel:)
Seriously, I can't wait to hear and see more as your journey continues...
God Bless you.
Love,Sara
