I MADE IT!!!

So after two uneventful flights...and one crazy adventure getting to the hostel...I made it to Madrid! A taxi from the airport to our hostel would have cost about 30 euros so we opted to go the cheaper route - public transportation. A great idea in theory, but add 4 clueless Americans and all their luggage and it is a disaster. The entire journey from airport to hostel took about 2 and a half hours when it was supposed to take about half an hour. The whole experience in the end was worth it - we learned about the metro system and how it is connected with the city. With the help of many kind pedestrians, we some how managed to get everything and everyone in one piece to the hostel. 

A quick siesta and I am ready to explore! More to come on the grand adventure! Love and miss everyone
