Madrid, Dias 1-3

Hola a todos!

So i'm settled in my little apartment with my host family, and we've just finished cenaring. Tomorrow, i have to get up balls early and commute...to the city center.  Kevin and I are on the fringes of the light blue metro line, in the 'nature' (aka outskirts) of madrid.  A fact which mildly freaks me out, as its DEAD silent here, and its only 10:28pm, but whatever...as long as i dont die lol.  

Overall, i love madrid...the small winding streets remind me alot of Roma, which is awesome.  The spanish is taking a little getting used to...the accento Castellano es poco mas dificil!

My fam is cute...my little five year old sis Claudia and i are slightly biffles, which is nice.  Her moms a pretty funny lady too...i just need to work up my spanish some more so i stop making such an ass outta myself lol.

Madrid is literally like a fiesta city.  Last night, we went out to a few bar whilst tapas hopping...which is lovely, because if you order a drink, you get free food...thats the name of the game :).  The other americans on the program are pretty cool as well, which is really nice.

I also have like a fellow student living here, but shes 23 and Spanish and going to another school...but i'm hoping we'll become fast friends and that she'll show me around. 

Stay tuned for more adventures..,like when i get lost on the metro tomo lol!
