There's so much to tell... I don't even know where to begin?!
I made it fine into Madrid, Espana! Actually, the 8 hour initial flight, 5 hour layover, and then 2 hour flight into Madrid went very smooth...it was great to finally be on land and safe. Thanks to Aunt George's travel tip for the Germany Airport, our group was able to get recharged with free coffee & tea compliments of Lufthansa Airlines :)
Our hostel is in a great location though, only about a five minute walk from the Plaza Mayor (which is the city square, bustling with activity). It's breathtaking here, sometimes because of the sights and other times because of the smell :)

So far we've went to El Prado (a very prominent art museum), Flamenco dancing, and also spent the day in Toledo walking through ancient streets and churches. We have an art/history professor from a University here, who is our tour guide. She loves to talk and I'm very pleased with the amount of Spanish that I've been able to understand.
I hear the weather in Wisconsin hasn't been the kindest...hope all is well :)
Besos.
