Hit the ground running....

Well we’re in for one heck of a ride. After two very long fights we finally reached our destination...Madrid, Spain. It is so beautiful. The fact that I’m here hasn’t really hit me yet. Today when we got to the hotel my roommates and I decided to take a nap before meeting up in the lobby to start our tour. Well that didn’t work out quite the way we had planned. We had to get a call from Denise to wake us up. After I answered I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I’m more than certain I scared my roommates. It was embarrassing as well as rude and I do more than apologize for our tardiness. However bad it was though I must say that at dinner when me and one of my other roommates were talking about it...it was kind of funny the way we ran down 7 flights of stairs. None the less it won’t happen again that’s for sure. After that incident we went on the Palacio De Madrid. It was absolutely breath taking. I loved the rooms and the paintings up on the ceiling. There was just so much to take it...it was hard. After we took the tour we went outside and took several group pictures. That was so fun because, everybody wanted a picture with their camera. So one person would be taking several pictures with so many different cameras. We would stay in the same place for like five minutes but it’s worth it. Dinner was good although, it was not quite what I expected. I did however enjoy the dessert. After this we will go back to the hotel and shower and rest because at 2 a.m. some of us are getting up and going to a bar to watch the Spurs game!!! I’m really looking forward to that. Even though I just got here and I love it...I miss home so much already. As much as I argue with my family I can’t wait till I get to see them again. Go Spurs Go!!!!!!!!!!
