Tomorrow I am going on a tour of Madrid with the university and I'm very excited to see the capital city of Spain! The tour was originally scheduled for last Sunday (before I was here) but there was a few inches of snow so they rescheduled it which is very good for me because now I can meet some more people and see Madrid! I will be taking a lot of pictures and I will put them up soon. Also, over the weekend I will take some pictures of the apartment I am living in so everyone can see what it looks like.<br /><br />Yesterday, I went out and bought a dictionary (but of course today I left in my classroom, D'OH, hopefully it's either still in the room or someone turned it in to the office) and went to this bar called "Kingston's Pub", it was a pretty neat pub and they were even playing N*SYNC songs which was kinda weird but it made me feel like I was at home (kinda) here are some pictures (click to make them larger):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b4o5BqYnM_M/SW_I20a-z9I/AAAAAAAAAN0/eHCq7aW6DJo/s1600-h/DSCN3506.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b4o5BqYnM_M/SW_I20a-z9I/AAAAAAAAAN0/eHCq7aW6DJo/s200/DSCN3506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291668931293925330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b4o5BqYnM_M/SW_JRYKW_bI/AAAAAAAAAN8/GHHMuBBQvLg/s1600-h/DSCN3507.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b4o5BqYnM_M/SW_JRYKW_bI/AAAAAAAAAN8/GHHMuBBQvLg/s200/DSCN3507.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291669387564481970" border="0" /></a><br />Today, during my break in classes I bought a SIM card from Vodafone and I now have a Spanish number! I also ran other errands like getting a passport picture for a student card that I need, purchased a workbook for a class, and then I went to McDonald's (I know gross) to get some American food! After lunch today, I helped Maitane ("my-taaaan-ey", my little host sister) set up her Nintendo DS to work on the internet and now she (or me) can play Mario Kart against my brother! How cool! Then, I took a 3 hour siesta, oh man that was so good.<br /><br />Now, I am just getting ready for bed so I can wake up and meet at the school at 10AM for the tour.
