I'M HERE!

---

I made it to Spain. It's amazing. I met some NYU kids at the airport and we chilled there for a bit. Met my host family. They're great. Don't speak any english, so a bit of a communication gap. HAHA. My friend and house mate Lindsay and I ventured on the metro today. It's so clean beautiful, NOTHING LIKE NY! We went to Sol, which is where some main landmarks lie. We also got lost in the artsy, soho-ish Goya neighborhood. We went to a tapas bar where I had tostada camarones con ali oli. (Toast with melted cheese and olive oil topped with shrimp. It was amazing!!! Lindsay and I talked to the bartender who was very friendly. This city is beautiful and Europe is definitely different. Especially when it is your new home.
