¡Buenas Tardes!
¡Hola desde España! Es much mas fácil escribir en español con una ordenador española.
Bueno, hemos llegando, cansadisimos, a Madrid esta mañana. Sara, our extremely gracious host here in Madrid, has been wonderful and treated us to a lovely breakfast of churros con chocolate y pan con tomate y jamon serrano esta mañana en su terraza preciosa. Después, fuimos al Rastro -- a very-crowded Sunday flea market, where we doggedly marched up and down hills, trying not to look too exhausted. Next, we went to the Prado for a quick walk around (Las Meninas!) before finally deciding that we needed a good long siesta if we were going to be functional for tapas y flamenco esta tarde.
I´m feeling much better after having slept for an hour and half. Tomorrow, if we´re feeling up to it, we might try for a day trip to Toledo -- vamos a ver. It´s wonderful to be back here and speaking Spanish (or trying to, anyway). ¡Hasta printo!
El horario, si te interesa:
- Madrid hasta martes (2 días más)
- Barcelona por tres días (hemos alquilado un apartemento)
- Vamos en coche a Zaragoza el día 13, donde tendrán una fiesta, y donde vamos a ver al jefe de School Year Abroad -- which has moved from Barcelona to Zaragoza (I went in Barcelona)
- We're driving for two days through either the pyrenees or La Rioja to get to our final destination, Santander. This is the only part we haven´t planned, but I´m hoping the book on Northern Spain we bought yesterday will help! There are lots of great places to stay, so it shouldn´t be a problem. I´m just hoping we can find the really good cheese places. We´ll probably spend a night in San Sebastian, too.
