First Day of Madrid Tour

Today started out a little late when my roommate and I realized we slept through breakfast and the first part of the Madrid Tour. Since today was a walking tour we decided to try to meet them somewhere. We ended up walking to the Royal Palace and met them outside. They already saw the rooms inside and were heading the the Old Part of Madrid. We visited Plaza Mayor, and a few other old buildings. The architecture is fabulous! After the Old Part we went the El Prado Museo. An art museum with many famous religious and nonreligious paintings. They were very interesting! After the museo we ate across the street from our hotel and took naps. Got to talk to the family again today! Keeps me udpated and happy to hear from them! :) Tonight we had a meeting about our living situations. I will be living in an apartment with two other girls in the area of San Sebastian called, "Gros." My apartment is a couple minutes from the surfing beach called, Playa de la Zurriola. It is on San Francisco street which is easy for me to remember! :) I will move in to the apartment on Monday! I am very excited about that!!
