After a crazy day of airport lobbys, delayed flights, cramped airplane seating next to a snoring german, I´m finally in Spain! After settling into our apartments, which is alot better than imagined, we celebrated our first night in Madrid with Sangria!

Day two in Madrid: VIPS, a restaurant nearby school, i discovered has the most amazing cafe con leche and crossiants for under 3 euros! We spent the day wondering around the cobble stoned streets of Plaza de Sol. I experienced my first Menu del dia, which is the traditional bargin lunch in Spain as Lunch is the biggest meal of the day. I was overwhelmed with all the food! Paella is so delicious. We ate at a chain restaurant called Museo de Jamon. They have hanging legs of ham everywhere. (I´m so sick of ham already). and apparently they give away bottles of wine if you order food, no complaints here.

On another note, it is freezing in Madrid, it snowed on Saturday night. I was not prepared for this! In the past couple of days we have done so much. The Royal Palace, Prado, exploring the city. Iḿ a bit overwhelmed. Hopefully Iĺl get the hand of writting in this every day with more details!
