hola!

So...in my last post I mentioned the 45 minute commute to school. This morning, Rosario opens my door in her long yellow nightgown at 8:42 and says, "dios mio! no vas al viaje?" (oh my god, you're not going on the trip?) The buses left school at 9 sharp. I jumped out of bed, said oh shit (in my head), put on the first pants and tank I saw and sprinted out the door. I took a taxi (9,50 euros to school...so thaaats why people don't ride them every day) and made it JUST in time. Phew.

The trip was amazing. The bus ride was only an hour long out of Madrid and the scenery was completely rural and so different from the city. Below you will find the castle after which Disney models his castles, and some beautiful old churches. Oh yeah, Fernando and Isabela totes lived in that castle! Also, the town itself was lovely. After touring, IES took all of its students to a fancy restaurant where I had the best meal I've had thus far! I'm full for the first time which is a nice feeling right before my siesta. Yum.
