The Adventure Has Begun!

Hey friends!

As you can see from the description of this blog, this is how I will keep all of you back home updated on what I'm doing here in Spain. I just arrived to Madrid this morning around 7:40 am (or 1:40am EST) after pretty smooth travel on both of my flights. Some of the other students going to Granada were on the same flight so we all met each other at the baggage claim soon after we landed. I've also gotten to meet other students who are going to Barcelona and Salamanca. Everyone seems really nice so far. After getting our bags, exchanging money, riding the bus to another terminal, and hydrating ourselves, we found or project directors and the rest of the group who will be studying in Granada. I met my roommate on the bus that took us to the hotel. His name is Chris and he seems like a cool guy. We get to meet our host mom later in the week. Before that, however, the group and I will be doing some sightseeing in Madrid tomorrow and then we are off to Toledo for a few days. Everything has been like a whirlwind so far and the lack of sleep that I've had over the last few days is starting to catch up to me, but I'm really excited to begin this adventure after spending so much time planning for it. Be sure to check back soon on more updates from Madrid and Toledo and as always, GO BUCKS!
