Hey, what´s up everyone. Today is my third full day here in Madrid...and I am loving it. I arrived in Europe no problem. I took the metro to the Weaver´s house (missionaries in London that I met through Kent) and arrived there about 1130pm. Brian was up waiting for me and then took me to the rail station at 430am!! I am very grateful. I made it to Paris ok, but I missed my connection train to Madrid. But there was one leaving a couple hours later, so everything was all good. And I was able to check out Paris for a couple of hours!! I had a pannini and a crepe (with bananas and nutella...it was delicious) and then headed for the Champs Ellysees and the Arc De Triumphe. On the way I passed by the Eiffel Tower...it was pretty amazing to think...holy cow...I´m in Paris! What was pretty cool about Paris was that all the streets are named after incredibly important people. People like Roosevelt, Sarte, and Pasteur to name a few. But it was every street with the famous people. You can´t just sense the history.
My train left at 350pm and I arrived in Madrid at 735am, with a train switch and 45 min layover in Irun in Southwestern France. There were 5 other people in my sleeper room, 4 Canadians and a French girl. By the way, French women are soooo unbelievably hot. And I was only there for a few hours. So many beautiful women. Anyway, I´m getting sidetracked. The Canadians were pretty cool. They had been many places in Europe already. They shared a couple of swigs of there wine they had picked up somewhere along the line. The sleep was actually pretty good on the train. That is my trip through Paris...I have been in Madrid for three days staying with Zac Mcgowen in his residence hall. I am starving though...so I will write about that later. I hope everyone is doing well. Peace.
