Look Out Paris!

Thursday February 21, 2008

Today I didn’t want to go to class because all I could think about was going to Paris, oh and the fact that we had a huge literature test to take didn’t really help either. After I survived my literature test I headed to the Internet café to print off my flight confirmation. Yes, I know this is probably surprising because it was only a couple of hours before the flight, but I’m starting to change a little I think with things like this. I came home afterwards and packed my backpack to leave and had lunch with the family. We left for the bus station at 5:15pm and Encarna kissed us goodbye. She frantically and very maternally told us to be careful and safe. She’s cute. We said goodbye to Rocio as well, who had made us amazing “bocadillos,” a sandwich with grilled chicken, tomato, and a sauce, to eat on our travels. After a 6.5-hour bus ride we were finally in Madrid at 12:30am. We had to run to the Metro, an underground train system, to take it to the airport. After taking 3 different lines we arrived at the Madrid Airport at 1:26am. Our flight didn’t leave until 5:45am, so we had a few hours to sit around and talk, eat, do nothing. Allison and I played cards for a while and finally went to the terminal and left around 6:00am.
