After a very long two days, I have arrived safely in Madrid! First flight went great, but the layover in LAX was pretty bad. Just so everyone knows, LAX does not have free wifi! Makes for a very long seven hours. Our flight to Madrid was delayed 50 minutes because of maintenance problems (!) but we made it on eventually. I slept like a baby. Better than the baby some silly parents felt the need to take to Madrid did... and the food wasn't bad either.

| Our plane was huge! |
It's strange to turn into the minority. English is the second listing on signs and announcements. Everyone on the plane was from different places. My seatmate had just finished an internship with L'ancome in LA and was headed back home to France, and the couple on the other side of me was from Israel. Everyone spoke at least some English though. We landed at 3:30pm, late, but safe. Time for the real adventure to begin!

| I'm in Spain?! |
We got out of the airport with no trouble at all. Spain has a very comprehensive metro system, all underground, and it goes anywhere you could want to go in the city. We found all our routes, hauled our luggage up tons of stairs, and finally got our first sight of home for the weekend.
and it's adorable! We dropped our luggage in our room at Las Musas Residence, and finished the day by meeting at the Puerta del Sol, a plaza in the center of Madrid, and heading out to check out the Plaza Mayor and the Palacio Real. Tomorrow: bright and early at the Prado Museum
