Anyways. Our flight was long and stressful but what matters is that we made it safely! The flight from Chicago to Germany was incredibly long and although many people slept some, I could only pretend to sleep for a few hours since it was late afternoon our time. I watched Cars and some TV shows that repeated on the airplane screens, listened to music, ate, and talked a little.
When we arrived in Germany, we would have had an hour layover but our flight getting in was late so we were freaking out and doing our best to get through the 2 sections of security and to our flight. However, we had to take a bus to get to our plane and were there 20 minutes after our plane was supposed to leave. Luckily the plane couldn't leave for Madrid for a while anyways due to weather I think.. but it's fine now. Liz and I took a cab here and talked to the driver along the way. Well mostly he talked, Liz talked back some and I tried my best to understand bits and pieces of the conversation.
When we got to our hostal, we all took some much needed naps. Eventually I got up and took a shower then found stuff to do around the room. Eventually everyone was up and we decided to wander around and find a place to eat. After we ate we walked around some more and looked at some of the shops set up. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we'll have slept, ate a decent meal, and are shown around Madrid by Accent.
And while I'm still scared about speaking the language, I'm excited knowing that I'll get better and more comfortable.. eventually. :)
Alright well - Adios!
