It's been a while since I've posted anything. We have been pretty busy. On Monday we went to the Prado Museum and say many paintings from Goya, El Greco, and Velasquez. We also went to the Royal Palace and saw where the king and queen used to live. It was a really big palace and we had to rush though it. I would have liked to spend more time there, but we had to be back at out hotel for a meeting.
Yesterday we went to the monastery outside of Madrid. It was also very nice. It used to be the summer home the king. It is also the royal "cemetery". Everyone is in a tomb in a really cool crypt underneath the cathedral.
Today we went to Toledo for a quick tour. It was my favorite city so far. We were only there for a few hours and spent most of that on a tour. The old part of town was very small and was nice to walk around in.
I will post some pictures on Facebook once I get to my house tonight or tomorrow.
I like everyone that is in my group so far, and I think I'll like all of my classes, once I figure out what I'm taking. Right now I'm on the bus to Bilbao and there is snow all over the ground and it is foggy so I can't see the surroundings.
I am kind of nervous about meeting Maika tonight, but my RD says she is very nice.
