Getting in the Swing of Things!

Vivian and I took the wrong train this morning! Well, it was the right train, but it went the wrong way! We weren't set too much behind though. We just got off at the first stop and then headed in the right direction. Today we only had grammar classes, so I got done by 11, and of course everyone was hungry again! We went to a bar close by and had some authentic Spanish tapas! I had a Tortilla Espanola. I had no idea tortillas here were nothing like tortillas in Latin America! It was about an inch thick and made of eggs and potatoes! Apparently sometimes they put onions in them, but if there were in this one they must have been really small. Some people had Bocadillos de Chorizo (sausage sandwiches).

Matt and I took the metro back (Vivian had already gone), but before we went to the station, we went to see our friends apartment because he lives on the way. It was very nice! Everything looked like it was from IKEA or something! The elevator was the tiniest one I've ever seen! Fitting 3 people in was a challenge! On our way out, Matt and I literally got stuck in the building! We were pulling and pushing on the door, and it just wouldn't open! We couldn't figure it out, and we were laughing so hard that we couldn't do anything. People were walking by outside and staring at us! It was so hilarious! Finally we called back up to our friend and he told us that all you have to do is push a button and the door unlocks...woops!

We saw some other people we know from the program on the train. I got off at my stop again, and of course I took the wrong exit again! I've really got to stop doing that...I had to ask another person for directions to get back to La Plaza de Olavide, which is where I live. I finally got back and was able to take a nice siesta :) I watched some TV on my computer and relaxed a little. I wasn't hungry for La Comida, so I didn't eat at 3, but that was a mistake! By 9 I was SO HUNGRY!! We all really need to get on the right eating schedule! haha

After I ate, I went and met Matt at the metro station, and we took the train to La Plaza del Sol. We walked around and took some pictures and stopped in some little tourist shops. I'm on the hunt for a really great RealMadrid jersey for my roommate back home :) I bought a few things and I guess we walked around a lot, but it didn't seem like it! It was really fun, and I definitely want to go back soon! There's still a lot I haven't seen! We stayed until about 11:15pm, and then took the metro back. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, because I have to be at the IES Center at 9am for our day trip to Segovia! I'm going to take my big camera so I can take some really great photos :)
