Now you can check up on what I'm doing across the world!
Molly and I made it safely to Spain after a long day of traveling. We didn't have any problems except that my movie player didn't work on the way to Zurich from Chicago...needless to say, it was a very long and boring flight next to a man who wouldn't speak.
Our hotel was really nice and only about a 20+ minute walk to the beach. The beach was unbelievable. Clear blue skies that faded into the rich blue water that was so clear and just the right temperature...honestly felt like we were in paradise.
We have explored the night scene, obviously, and let me tell you it is something! The first time we went out we didn't get back until 6 am...Dad, I know that pains you to hear that! But luckily Spain is smarter than the US and they make a time for naps during the day...this is the place for me.
Now we are in our apartment, which is in a fairly central location with lots of spots of interest and places to eat nearby. Walking to class will only take about 20 min. This is a guess because on my way there today for orientation I got very turned around. Was close to tears after receiving many directions, none of them really the same, but I finally made it, Starbucks in hand. (Mom, it was needed.)
Tonight we have a crazy party so I'm about to take a nap! Oh and earlier today I ran to the Plaza de Espanya and hiked up to the Olympic stadium, Jessie you would die! I even got to see the pool from a distance but am going back to check it out later.
I hope all is well! Spain is amazing but I do miss MN!
Con amor (with love), Mary
