Our flight was an hour delayed but was an hour quicker than we all thought. We left Dallas Fort Worth at about 7pm and got to the airport in Madrid by about 10:30 am which is just plain confusing because the flight was only 8.5 hours. According to time changes, we had been traveling for a full 26 hours but for us it was only about 14 hours... Whah...? My brain has yet to figure it out.
The airport in Madrid is super cool with this weird roof that is shaped a bit like a mustache.
Of course, we had to get a beer in the airport just because we could. It technically was only 11 am but it was more like 1am for us Portlanders.
We're staying at this gorgeous hotel pretty close to the city center. I'm rooming with a girl named Gabriella for the next week and we've been talking too much to get much sleep. All of us are beyond excited.
After la cena we walked around the adorable cobblestone streets and found a bar that had a live jazz band that played a cool fusion of jazz and flamenco. It was a pretty great start to nightlife in Spain. Btw, I love my group so far. This is going to be fun.
Glad you're having a good time and like your classmate/roommate. The photos you posted are all gorgeous looking gringos - post some photos of real Spaniards please. LOL
