We are here we are finally in Spain!!
We departed from San Antonio at 12:30 pm we arrived in Newark at 5:30 pm.
We had to wait a couple of hours at the airport until we were to depart for Spain. We boarded the plane at 8pm but we had to wait on the plane for about an hour until our turn came to depart we were number 60 out of all the planes.
We arrived in Madrid at 11am today the plane ride was a smooth one compared to the one from San Antonio to Newark. This was the first time I have ever been on a plane. I have terrible jet lag. I am so tired I just want to close my eyes and sleep forever.
When we arrived I did not know what to feel I was so excited to know that I was in Spain, but the thought of it did not feel like I was finally hear. When we arrived I did not know what to think the smell was somewhat cleaner than that of home, from the plane you could see that the areas are filled with trees and flowers. When I first looked out of the window I was speechless.
When we met up with our tour guide at the airport, we took a bus to our hotel to freshen up and get ready to go. We settled in to the hotel and I, Sarah Jackie and Victoria decided to take a nap, but we accidentally slept too much. We literally had to run down 7 flights of stairs. We were late and embarrassed. It will never happen again.
We took a tour around Madrid first then we were off to the Palacio Real. It was amazing. I had never seen such beauty in my life. The rooms all had different décor and colors.
We then took a tour around Madrid seeing some beautiful architecture. We then went to go eat at a wonderful restaurant Museo del vino we had the paella and the steak and fries and then some ice cream the tastes of the food were just exquisite.
I can´t wait to see what awaits tomorrow. Tonight, we are going to see the Spurs play and win, woo hoo!! The things here in Europe are so expensive a euro is worth like 1.40 in dollars. it does not matter where you go the clothes, the food are going to be twice as expensive as the U.S.
HASTA MAÑANA
