Today we left Madrid for Barcelona. We woke up extra early to make sure we got to eat a good breakfast before we loaded the bus. We were supposed to load the bus at 8 and lave by 8:30. The plan was to also stop at a caslte/church on the way. We tried to leave on time so that we could make it there before the siesta (which is a very annoying thing in spain from 1-5 where EVERYTHING closes for people to nap). There were apparently being very serious when they said they would leave us if we weren’t there. There were two girls missing from the bus at 8:25. After a phone call to their room, it turns out that they had overslept and had 5 minutes to get down to the bus. Shortly after 8:40, the bus pulled away from the hotel, and the girls were still not there. I felt so bad for them. They would have to figure out how to try to take the train to Barcelona. Neither spoke Spanish and they were both girls. I was pretty worried.
Luckily, the bus had to make a u-turn to go to the highway. When we swung back around on the road it had been about 5 minutes. We passed them walking to the train station! We pulled over shortly after and picked them up. I was so happy that it worked out and everyone made the bus!
The bus ride was very long. We got on the highway and then stopped. Traffic was very bad and I think we only got about 1 km in 2 hours. Needless to say, we missed getting to our church. The first leg lasted for about 4.5 hours. When we finally stopped, I thought I was going to wet myself! (this whole time I was thinking, I wish mer where here so she could make them stop the bus for a potty break). We stopped at a restaurant/gas station. I ordered a hamburger (cause It really looked like the only halfway sanitary thing). I got it and ate around the outside. I still have not gotten used to the rareness of all the meat in Spain. I am still a little weary when I bite into beef that hasn’t been cooked very long. But I am proud of myself for eating things that are different!
We got back on the road we stopped 3 more times. The total trip took a little over 10 hours. I was very tired and ready to get off of the bus. I wasn’t able to really sleep, but I did get some of my art homework nad reading done. I was also thankful for some down time.
We got to the hotel in Barcelona at around 6:45. Once we dropped our stuff off, we had our welcome dinner. For the first course (and what we thought was our only one) we got spaghetti with meat sauce. It was a huge plate of it! Mine was bigger than the guy sitting next to me so I gladly switched. I was only able to get through about half of it when I was stuffed. They came and took our plates away but we remained seated, expecting desert. However, that was not what came. The waiters walked up to our table and proceeded to but down a very very large steak with French fries. We knew that this had to be a mistake. Even one of our professors came over to our table to inquire about it. We had no idea and didn’t know what had happened. Then, they started serving it to the other tables. It was a second course! I could not believe it. I ate several bites of the steak, but was so full! Most everyone just ate a little bit to be polite, but after that spaghetti, it was just impossible to eat more. After, we got a very sweet fruit cocktail.
At dinner we discovered that we are about 1 hour outside of Barcelona. And that everyday, we must take the tram to a train to take us into the city. We have to pay for it so I am kind of bummed about that. Also, the train stops running at midnight, so if we would like to go out, we have to take a pretty expensive cab ride back to the hotel. I think we will just end up staying in the city during the day and the night, because there is not a lot to do around the hotel and no where close to walk to eat. Also, it seems like it is in kind of a sketchy place. Not so sure I will venture our without a boy and at least 4 other people!
After dinner we headed to the room to take showers and do homework. There is a lot of people going out, but it was raining and I felt like I needed to get some work done and head to bed early. Tomorrow we have a very busy day. I am excited about the new city, and the possibility of going to the beach. Although, it has been sooooo cold here! I have been wearing two jackets most everyday in Spain. I clearly did not pack for this cold weather so I am trying to make my pair of pants last a long time! Hopefully it will start to warm up!

Monday, May 26, 2008
After the usual 7 am breakfast (from which me and Amanda put some great muffins in our book bags for later) we were off on our first day trip! We headed to Toledo, Spain, about an hour outside of Madrid. This city has been by far the best part of the trip so far! We got to see what a really old city looks like! After getting off the bus, we had a walking tour around the city. It was amazing and unlike anything else that I have ever seen! The city was full of very steep hills and little cobblestone streets. The pictures of the city are the most gorgeous that I have ever seen in my life! The view from the city was just spectacular! I really cannot describe how breathtaking it was (so I guess you will just have to wait and see all of my pictures)!
At the end of our walking tour, we stopped by a building where the tomb of Count Orgaz is held. This small chapel has a fresco about the tomb which we studied in our Art history class. It was painted by El Greco several hundred years ago. After we saw the tomb, we had a couple of hours to walk around the city. 12 of us stopped in a small pub to grab some lunch. I think that this was by far the best meal that I have had the whole trip! I had a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and I don’t know why, but it was so good!
Also, I was able to get my souvenir for the country of Spain! I am on a missing to get one piece of jewelry in each country I visit! I found some pretty cheap earrings that I love! We got to walk around for a very short while after that before heading back to Madrid. Once we arrived back in Madrid, we headed to an internet cafĂ© to try to work on our concert report and check email. I didn’t get that much done, but I loved loved loved having internet! I had felt so useless until that point without it. It is kind of a strange feeling not using cell phones or the internet. I quickly ran back to the hotel to shower before our night began!
That night, we met in the lobby to go to a Flamico concert. After the long walk there, we had about 20 minutes to grab dinner before the concert. We opted to go to a McDonalds since it was close and we thought it would be fast. After many meals, we have discovered that everywhere in Spain has very slow service. We hurriedly got happy meals which I stuffed in my purse. We got to the concert where I ate my cheeseburger, French fries, and apple. It was so delicious! I never thought I would think McDonalds was so good. But it was! It was really good.
The Flaminco concert was a very different experience. It was neat seeing all the very technical performers. The guitarists and all the singers were very good. There was also so very interesting new instruments. I was a little disappointed though because I was expecting some really cool dancers. After intermission, we took our seats again. This time, some dancers came out! We ended up seeing three different dancers. The first was a woman who was by far the best! I don’t think that I have ever seen someone move their feet so quickly! The next was a man, who I am still not that sure about. He was obviously a very technical dancer, but it was very strange to watch him for some reason. The last was a woman who, while not as good as the first, had a pretty cool dress. However, at this piont I think I, as well as the rest of the group, was so over the flamico concert. It was approaching 3 hours, and at 11, most had still not eaten any dinner! When it was finally over, I was so thankful for that McDonalds! J
After the concert, we stopped by a local supermarket and bought some very cheap wine. We went up to the solarium on the 8th floor of our hotel and there a large group had some wine while taking in some Spanish air! We decided to head out downtown again for our last night. On the first night we had spotted a Laser Karaoke bar where we decided to head back to. I opted not to get anything to drink (in order to save some money) but I still had a great time! They had most all the songs in English so our group had a very wide variety of things to chose from. I got up on stage just once, but I had so much fun watching all the other people cut up. We also met some locals who were very eager to show off their English! Our newest friend was Jesus, whose favorite thing to say in the whole wide world was “hello, my name is Jesus. I am from America!” I don’t think that he has even ever visited America, but it was very enjoyable listening to all the English phrases he knew!
We called it a night and headed back to the hotel. Luckily we had already packed, but we decided to go ahead and shower. Our group has made up rules for the bus since we are going to be on it for so long! One of them was that everyone needs to shower before boarding the bus (to avoid people staying out all night and then reeking of alcohol the next day). Me and Amanda’s clothes had the stench of smoke so we did the best with that before heading off to bed for a couple hours of sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day with the bus ride to Barcelona!

Sunday, May 25, 2008
My alarm awoke me entirely too early this morning! We went down to breakfast around 7:30. There was a very wide array of food there. Apparently, most Spaniards drink wine and champagne with breakfast (which I opted not to do). I instead had some fruit, toast, and cereal. I also had some cheese eggs, but most like everything else here, things are just not cooked nearly as long. I did not get bacon or sausage (I like to try new things, but it really looked like it might still be bleeding).
The first outing of the day was to the Prado Museum. This Museum houses some very famous works. I was a little sad that we did not get to see the Goya exhibit though since it cost extra money and it had a very long line. Nonetheless, we saw some amazing works of art! It was so neat being able to see all the pieces that we had been studying about. We had a very short time in this museum since we still had to grab a very quick lunch before heading to the next museum.
A group of about 12 of us went to a small pub across the street from our hotel. Ordering was much harder than any of us had expected. We all just ended up getting hamburgers because is was the easiest thing that we knew we could order. After receiving our food, we not only noticed once again that things are not as well done but also that we did not know what type of meat was in a hamburger. I think we determined that it might have been ground ham. It was not the most delicious thing that I have ever tasted, but I ate it very quickly and happily because I was so hungry at this point!
We then headed to a museum called the Renia Sophia. I was most excited about viewing several works by Picasso and Salvador Dali (although the museum was so large I doubt we could have gotten to see half of the works). The paintings and sculptures were much more than I could have ever expected! Not only the colors, but also the sheer magnitude of some of the paintings were astronomical! One of the Picasso works, the Guernica, was probably about 25 feet wide, from floor to ceiling! I felt so cool now that I am able to say that I have been able to see such amazing things as Picasso paintings in person!
When we were ready to had back to the museum after dinner, we were greeted by something very unpleasant. It had been drizzling throughout the day, but when we got out of the museum, there was a torrential downpour! We ran as fast as we could through the rain, trying to get back to some shelter. We waited in the hotel for a short time while the rain let up.
Amanda and I decided to run some errands. We walked up to a large plaza about 15 minutes away ( up some very steep hills) to go get our 15 minutes of free internet from the tourism center. After a couple of quick emails, the hunt for phone cards and mascara began (my mascara somehow got lost between the second plane and the hotel L ). We found some very cheap phone cards (with the help of a random girl who spoke very good English and Spanish who was passing through the phone store). Unfortunately, the mascara did not have the same story. I finally found some, only to see that it was priced at 24 euros (about $38!!!!!!!) I knew things were expensive, but I thought that was too steep for my budget! I passed on that and have been using a little of Amanda’s until I find something a little cheaper.
We went back to the hotel to quickly shower before going to a Spanish Opera! We walked with the professors (about 30 minutes) to get to the concert hall. While we were waiting for the rest of the group, I jokingly asked one of our leaders if me and Amanda could have the best seats. The tickets were all in Spanish, but our leader let us pick out our tickets, so I quickly grabbed the tickets with the lowest numbers on them. Turns out that it was a great move!
We walked with the rest of our group up to the 6th level, only to find out that me and Amanda were sitting much closer! We proceeded to find out that we got tickets in a box just two levels up from the stage. The seats were amazing! While the rest of the group was sitting in stadium seats over twice the distance we were (with obstructed views) we had a great view. I felt just like pretty woman! There was another guy from our group with us, named Chris, and then an Older Spanish couple ( who got really into the opera). We found out later that while the rest of our group got 6 Euro tickets, ours were at a face value of 65 euros (over $100)! The show was sold out and people offered to buy tickets from us, but I am happy we kept those seats!
The opera was hard to understand with it being in all Spanish. However, after reading the program, I got the general gist of the plot. I still am very undecided about the opera. I think it is definitely something that you have to learn to appreciate. It was slow moving and very long, but it was an amazing experience!
I got in bed super early to try to catch up on sleep. Overall, it was such a different and great experience than anything else that I have ever done!

Friday, May 23, 2008 / Saturday, May 24, 2008
Today was the first day on my trip! I was so excited but at the same time really stressed out. I headed to the airport at one (after a quick stop at REI to get a much needed new jacket). While checking in, I was able to meet Amanda’s parents and her little sister. The seem like a great family and I was that much more exited to be traveling with Amanda.
When we got up to the counter, we started talking to the woman checking us in. She asked us why there were so many people traveling to Madrid and we told her about the study abroad program. Suddenly, she turned to my father and asked him if he would like to walk me to my gate. This was a total surprise! After running to the car to get some drivers licenses, both of my parents were able to go through security with me! Unfortunately, the woman who checked Amanda in was not as nice. Her parents, nor anyone else’s, were able to come with us. Apart from getting to stay with my parents longer, we were also all able to go into the Crown Room (our very favorite places) to get a quick glass of wine and some snacks!
After saying goodbye to my parents, I board the plane. I was a little frustrated that I was sitting in a middle seat, but that quickly changed. I was able to sit next to two very nice girls from our group. (Not fat smelly guys like I had feared)! Hilary, Kayla, and I talked a good bit on the flight over. I tried to sleep, but even with the glass of wine from the crown room, the ambien, and the half a glass of wine with dinner, I was only able to sleep for about 2 hours.
We landed in Amsterdam about 7 am local time. We had just the right amount of time to get through security and grab a quick croissant before boarding (or a quick beer in the case of most of the boys).
While standing in line to board, a man with dread locks started talking to me about my travels. I told him that myself (along with the majority of the small plane that we were flying on) were traveling through Europe for school. I asked him about his meaning of travel and I got a quick, and creepy, response that besides “having the pleasure” of meeting me there that day, that he was in a band. I assumed that it was a small band. He said that he was had preformed in Amsterdam the night before, performing in Madrid that night, and then Barcelona the next night. I asked him if I had heard of his band. Turns out he was pretty famous! He was the man who wrote a popular song a while back called “Freak Out!” I am pretty sure that the people most excited about this would be people my parents age cause no one else seemed to know the song. But I sure was pretty excited!
On this flight, I again was sitting between Hilary and Kayla (we so happened to be in alphabetical order). I was able to sleep about an hour more on this flight.
After a total of about 15 hours of traveling, I had finally made it into Madrid! We grabbed our bags and found the bus. We were presently surprised having a very new and nice and clean Mercedes Benz Bus. We had a very short ride to the hotel, which was very centrally located.
We were a little ahead of schedule, so the hotel had not made our keys yet. Amanda and I ended up being one of the last to receive keys, and therefore had no time to eat before the walking tour. That was a little sad, but I was more than ready to go and explore!
The group walked for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. We saw some amazing places around the city! I was very excited and took a ton of pictures! After the tour, we were set on our own for a couple of hours before the welcome dinner. We walked around trying to find a phone store in order to get a SIM card. That didn’t really work out, but Amanda and I got a good sense of the city. We made it back to our hotel and had about 2 hours to get ready before heading to the welcome dinner. We had a huge meal there! The first course was a salad with tuna which turns out to be a very delicious combination. We then had one of the biggest chickens that I had ever seen! We each got our own chicken in a great sauce with sides of French fries. The was followed by a very rich chocolate desert. After heading back to the hotel, several people decided to meet and try to go out for a little while.
Even though Amanda was tired, I decided to go to try to meet some new people. I went to someone’s room while we all had a glass of wine before heading out. We meet the group in the lobby (which ended up being I think about 25 people). We wandered around for a good bit (with that many people, it was hard to find a place everyone would like to go to). We ended up in a small bar where we had the whole basement floor to ourselves. There I got one drink (I didn’t think I could afford much more since the drinks were 6 euros a piece!). We called it a night relatively early and headed back to the hotel. I was in bed a little after 2 for some long awaited sleep!
When we got up to the counter, we started talking to the woman checking us in. She asked us why there were so many people traveling to Madrid and we told her about the study abroad program.
