Okay, so I'm here in Madrid. I'm also on my bunk bed, awkwardly leaning on one arm and typing because there's nowhere else to write a blog. My computer is dying, and plugging it in with all of the converters will take too much effort.
Here's what happened today:
1. Flight was okay, got very little sleep, watched a lot of movies and stared into space a lot.
2. Met up with Laura (another language assistant) at MAD and shared a taxi into town. The driver was really nice---until he tried to charge us 117 Euro for the ride. We refused, and talked him down to 50, but it was still too much. I was too tired to deal with people trying to rip me off.
3. Checked into the hostels, and then went in search of cell phones. We found them (pretty cheap)... and mine's a touch screen. I'm satisfied.
4. Ate at a restaurant with bocadillos (little sandwiches) for a Euro each. Nice.
5. Awkwardly typing this blog entry as hostel folks come in and out. A shower was AMAZING... I kind of want to take another one. It's so hot here!
Posting this before it's too late...

You owe him 117 euro!! Haha thats more like the first day in Spain I remember. Did you just actually laugh at his face? We're talking the drive from Barajas into the city right? I think Jen and I paid like 30 for the cab to the airport last time.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does your phone plan work? I'm assuming Skype or whatever free alternative is better.
