DAY 5: I MADE IT TO SPAIN!!!!!

Wow!! I still ca,nt believe I´m here in Europe. We arrived in Spain at 11am this morning after a long and stressful flight. As I walked out of the airport, I took a deep breath of the crisp European air. As we walked to the tour bus, I felt nothing, as if I was still in the United States. While we were riding to the hotel the highways were almost empty and everywhere you looked was graffiti. We finally arrived at our hotel which was not very pleasant; empty walls, little T.V., no phone, and a view of dirt. Depressing. Today we took a tour of the Royal Palace which was pretty interesting and was very beautiful. As a student studying in Spain I find it difficult to do my work. The cyber cafes are creepy and are a tourist stake out, so we have to be very careful. Today wasn´t the best of all days, and I only hope for it to get better. I miss my family and friends and can´t wait to get home!
