I had better luck uploading the pictures to Snapfish, so I sent out a link to the McCaffrey e-mail group. Enjoy!

The computers we are using do not have USB outlets, so I will have to load the pictures next time we have computeres with USB cords or wireless internet. We leave early tomorrow morning for Toledo. We will spend some of Friday and Saturday there, and then it is off to VALENCIA! So, I am not sure when I will have Internet again, but I will post pictures then. Okay, we´re off to go get some tapas for dinner!

el segunda dia en Madrid

A couple of the girls and I stopped by an Internet cafe so I thought I would write a quick blog. My roommate Jamie and I were roaming the city today and we saw Juan Carlos! It was very interesting; he received a lot of applause. I took a lot of pictures so I will try to post them tonight after our bus tour.

Love you all!

MADRID

!Hola a todos! Yo estoy en Madrid. We landed this morning and I met another girl from Bridgewater, Mass at the airport. We took a taxi to our hotel. The hotel is fabulous! After we got settled in, we spent the afternoon walking around Madrid and exploring the city. Madrid is very commercialized, but it is still a nice city. Right down the street from our hotel is a KFC, Burger King, McDonald's and TGI Friday. We are right in the heart of the city so that may be the reason it is so commercialized.

Tonight, my roommate and I met up with about five other ISA students and went out for dinner and drinks at a local pub. Overall, it has been a relaxing and fun day. Tomorrow we are having a group meeting and taking a bus tour of the city. It should be very interesting.

So far, the hardest thing to get used to is the time change. It is 2 AM here, but I feel like eating dinner. :) I'm sure I'll get used to it soon enough. That is all I have for now; I just have a short time on the internet. I will try and write again soon. Take care!
