waiting
mere waiting for the bus... she was really tired lol We are in Spain!!!! finalmente! lol, so we are here thank goodness. Today is thursday I guess, and yesterday was like the longest wednesday I have ever had... oh this is Morgan btw.
The flight was actually pretty good, it was about 9 hours long, we had dinner and breakfast which were suprisingly good. It was pretty sweet cause we all had our own screens on the backs of the seats in front of us and we had a bunch of movies, tv shows, games and music to entertain us. I watched Intervetnion, Chowder, Flapjack, CSI, played trivia and chess with other people on the plane, and all kinds of stuff like that. Let me tell you watching Chowder was so awesome! I was not happy about being on a nine hour flight but Chowder definitely made me happy!
Mere, Andy and I all probably got less than 3 hours of sleep, Dad of course slept the entire time. We got to Spain and it was about 9:50 am local, so that means it was like 3:50 am US time.. so we were kind of out of it. Getting through immigration and customs took like no time, so we
true blood!!
they advertised for true blood on the plane, seeing bill staring at me def made me happy go to the waiting spot for our hotel van to pick us up earlier than we thought. We waited there for maybe 40 minutes, then the van showed up and the bus driver took us to our hotel in Madrid with another American family. While on our way the bus driver gave us a sort of "tour gide" of the city and what we were driving past. Of course he spoke only Spanish, but he talked relatively slowly and repeated a lot of things, so I got maybe 50-60% percent of it lol.
We got to our hotel which is pretty nice, we have two rooms, me and mere in one and Andy and dad in the other. The rooms are somewhat small but they are cute and have big windows that we can open and walk out onto a small balcony. We went to Plaza de Sol and Plaza de Mayor yesterday which are just big plazas, ofcourse el Plaza de Sol was under construction, but the other plaza was open and we had lunch there. The waitress we had was really nice and knew some english, we kind of spoke Spanglish the whole time lol.
It
was reaaallly hot yesterday, maybe 90 degrees or so. I'm sure I got some sun. Today it's a little cooler and kind of overcast. Everyone we have talked to here in Spain has been really nice. We know enough Spanish and most people in Spain know enough english that it is pretty easy to get by. After walking around yesterday we came back to the hotel and meant to hang out for a bit and then go back out but Andy and I were sooo dead. I tried so hard to stay up but ended falling asleep around maybe 7... and slept till 8:30 this morning!! Andy did the same thing while Dad and Mere went to a Tapas bar last night which was aparently really good.... I was happy sleeping lol.
This morning we went to a restaurant called Cafe y Te and had coffee and tea and little breakfast sandwiches and stuff, it was really good. Now we are just hanging out, we are going to go to a Museum here soon, but mere wasn't feeling good so she is napping... wow i wrote a lot! lol
Well i will put up some pics, and then
maybe I will write later!!! luv yall!!!
