First couple of days

Well I am finally here! Made it to Madrid yesterday afternoon. It was a lot of traveling from but luckily my luggage arrived with me when I got to Madrid(my friend´s did not). Yesterday we walked Retiro park and had tapas for dinner. Today was busy and a lot of walking. Woke up on my own at 730 AM here (still adjusting to the time difference). We then went to the train station and validated our EuroRail. We went to Saint Louis University-Madrid to take a look at it and see how different it was since we went there a couple of years ago. It hadnt changed much. Ran into one of my professors and talked for a little bit. We also saw Cesar (for all you SLU-Madrid people) and took a picture with him! After this went to Tom´s Senora´s house and she prepared lunch for us. Gotta love that free meal! Next we toured the palace, the cathedral, an eguiptian structure and also many other places aruond Madrid. Tomorrow going to Toledo and hopefully finding the tapa bar for dinner. Sunday we will be heading to Salamanca for the day. We leave Madrid Monday morning. Having a great time!!!
