So BUSY!

Yikes, keeping up with this is harder than I thought!

I have been so busy with class, traveling, and just boppin' around Madrid!

Our first outing was Sunday the 30th. We went just about an hour outside of Madrid to a city called El Escorial where Phillip the 2nd's summer palace is still standing. Then we drove from there to Segovia where there is a Roman aqueduct still standing and a giant castle that holds the tombs of all the Kings and Queens of Spain!

We had class Monday, not very exciting. After class though one of my classes went as a group to the Archaeological Museum of Madrid which was pretty neat, but also very small.

Tuesday was our next outing: Toledo! Its about an hour and a half from Madrid and BEAUTIFUL. So hot but so pretty. We visited the cathedral there which was breath taking and then were given free range to wander around for about 3 hours. I enjoyed some fresh sangria and people watching in the shade for most of that. The city is hard to navigate because EVERYTHING. IS. UP. HILL. I don't know how they did it.

The past two days we have just had classes and our group has been trying out different bars in Madrid each night and its been really fun! I should head to bed because tomorrow morning at 8 am we are heading on a 4 day trip to the South of Spain! We are going to Cordoba, Sevilla, and Granada. Maybe internet access, maybe not! I'll try to keep this updated better!!!
