This is the bridge we cross to get to the metro


This is the outside of our new home


Here is our messy little room


This is the view from José´s house. Look at that sky. I haven´t seen a cloud since I got here.

I am so glad that we are doing this blog because it is helping.

Pictures!

We got a response from two girls about an apartment and we can go and see the apartment next week. We are still feeling the jetlag but Paul was able to sleep 9 full hours last night and I was only able to sleep from 2am to 5am and again from 9am to 12pm. We bought our MacBook today and i am using right now. It has a camara installed and everything. It even has the ichat so I imagine that I will be able to chat with all you mac users for free. We are also going to set up a skype account. I took some pictures on our trip to downtown madrid today. We have been walking a ton. Today we walked 3 hours straight and mom, I did not wear flip flops.

Hemos llegao (We have arrived)

I kept telling myself that we would be here any minute and reminding Paul that we had to take advantage of every Evanston moment because we would be here so soon but i am still having a hard time settling with the fact that we are here and we will not be returning anytime soon.

We had two flight delays and two disgusting Continental meals but we got in safely and Josè was still waiting patiently for us in Barajas ready to take us to our new temporary home. As soon as we entered the home he whipped out the best chorizo and cheese from Galicia! I had to pace myself and remember those 15 pounds that I packed on the last time I was in Spain in order to control myself. It already feels like Spain. José is always so good to us.

It will still be a couple days until this jetlag hang over wears off. Until then our lives will consist of sleep, cheese, sleep, chorizo, sleep, walks around the centro. The apartment searching can wait.
