After about 24 hours of traveling I made it to Madrid. I was able to find my roommates at the airport despite the fact we had never met before and none of us had phones. We jammed all of our bags into a taxi and headed for our new apartment and new life.
We live in the Salamanca barrio, which it seems is a pretty nice place. There are lots of cute boutiques and tapas bars and restaurants. We also live just a few blocks from Retiro Park and I brought my running shoes so maybe I'll put them to use. The "piso" or apartment is darling. VERY small but equally as charming. Everything is already furnished which takes out a lot of the work for us. As much as I hate unpacking, I'm excited to get settled.
I'm a little ashamed to say my first meal in Spain was Special K. We haven't pinned down a market in our area yet so I settled for what the corner store had to offer.
I don't really have plans for the next week (other than studying for the dreaded LSAT which I will be taking here in Madrid on October 4th) so I'm hoping to do a lot of exploring on foot. I miss you all! Pictures to come!
