We were able to meet up with Anne and her friend for lunch today. They told us that they were out until 5am the night before dancing with Austrailians and getting to know a Peruvian who spoke some english. I was happy to hear that they had a full night and that they were able to take advantage of all that Madrid has to offer. You haven´t really seen Madrid until you have seen it a 5am. We meet them outside of the Reina Sofia (home of Guernica) and we had a long lazy lunch outside on this sunny day.

They went back into the museum and we went to Parque Retiro again.

The park is massive and right in the middle of the center of the city. You would have to walk through it for days to experience it all. This time we walked through a rose garden.

We were thinking about how lucky we are right now because the only big decision we have to make now is whether to go the beach town Sitges or San Sebastian. I am voting for San Sebastian we just need to get the timing right.

We are feeling more and more at home and will feel even more so once we are living in our new apartment and start working. We are nervious about what it will be like working with the children and teachers especially since we are not depending on the program to tell us much more in the orientation since they have barely told us anything up until now!

Dear Paul and Sarah,
I finally succeeded in accessing your blogsite -- it's great to hear from you with your experiences so far. I'm glad you were able to meet with Annie and her friend.
It sounds like you are ready to begin the "great adventure" of living and teaching in Spain.
Love, Grandma
