We had a fairly easy flight getting to Madrid from NYC and a very easy trip to our hostel on the (very clean, very spacious) metro. Â The time difference and lack of sleep on the flight caught up to us though, so we took a nice nap for a couple of hours.
Since then we’ve managed to have some tapas (delicious!), wander around a bit, plan the next day or so (think we’ll head to Toledo and we’re going to see a flamenco show!), and see an incredibly awesome live jazz show just two blocks from where we’re staying! Â We’ve also been pleased because even though the language here is a little different than in South America it seems like we can understand people pretty well and they can understand us. Â So all in all, Spain has been good to us in the first 12 hours we’ve been here.
We had a very fun and joyful stop in Ithaca, NY to watch Justin’s sister Jessica graduate from veterinary school at Cornell University. Â It’s good to have a doctor in the family!
