Back home again in Madrid

After dreaming of this day for 2.5 years, I'm back in Madrid. My flights went smoothly, my bags weren't overweight (though I sure couldn't lift them!), and I have my very own room in a part of Madrid I've never seen before.

I arrived around 6:30 yesterday, took a cab to my home, where the landladies were waiting for me. They are a mother and a daugher and very kind, though I am mostly guessing about what we spoke about. We chatted for awhile and they sent me to my room, which is tiny, but great. I have doors leading to a small terrace overlooking the street. I have one roommate, Tom, who is arriving today. Last night I met a British girl who used to live in this flat and who did the TTMadrid program in April. She only made me more excited for the upcoming months!

Today I am going to wander around with my map and find the school and maybe do some grocery shopping. Then I need to get to work on my suitcases and my course prep.

Adios!
