Last night was really fun. Almost everyone in our group met at a bar called O’Briens which is like an Irish Pub and there were some other Americans there… It was good to interact with everyone outside of a school situation. Everyone seems to get along which is great!

We learned a new way to say cheers in Spain - you say arriba and put your glass up, abajo and put your glass down, al centro, put your glass to the middle, al dentro and drink! We did it a lot last night which was fun!

Today, Adrienne and I walked around some more and figured out that we can walk to town instead of taking a bus but it probably takes about 15 minutes to get to the Plaza then another 10 minutes to school...So I don't know if we will do that very often, but it was good to know that it is possible! I am at school now and have a lot to do - about 40 pages of Spanish theater to read and analyze. Should be a little difficult, but will be good.

Madrid manana! More to come later :)

    Uncle Boy here. G-Parents are visiting and wanted to say "Hell-o". I hesitate to be the one to tell you this. Your dad was arrested while running around the neighborhood in you mother,s nightgown. They let me bring him home as long as I agreed to supervise him. We'll let you know of any further developments.

  2. JJW, let me remind you that this is an informational and educational blog focused on activities in Spain. The incident that you refer too relates to an error in poor judgement. BW has agreed to do future running in certain attire only after dark.
