All Moved In

¡Hola desde España! It's my first day here in Spain and I am absolutely exhausted. I got into the Madrid airport at about 715 am local time where it was still dark and there was a lot of dense fog. It is a national holiday so the airport was quiet. Customs was a piece of cake and my bag got here safe and sound. Next, I found a taxi and managed to get to my host family's cozy little place about a 5 minute walk from campus! Señora Pilar and her little dog Milu where very welcoming and soon after I arrived the other three students (two from Wake Forest and one from Michigan) also moved in. We all got to know each other then went out to see the SLU Madrid Campus. Then walked around a little more and found the metro station and some really nice looking restaurants nearby. Finally, we came back and took a much needed siesta for a few hours. Our first day of orientation starts tomorrow and then our first day of school is Thursday. But most important on the upcoming list of things to do: watch Notre Dame win the National Championship!! Anyways, I must get going. I'd say my first day here was definitely an adventure. Until then!
