Day 3

This morning Marcela took the liberty to serve as my personal alarm clock. Boy, is she good at it. She pounds on your door and starts screaming out, "Wake up Call!!!". I got up and had coffee, the. Went to an orientation with the Granada advisor. She is great. After said orientation a few of us went to the botanical gardens in Madrid and walked around for a bit before some of us got tired and went to sit in the shade for a bit. From there we went to plaza mayor and then took the metro to the restaurant the program chose to host the welcome dinner. The food was so good and while it was a welcome it was also a goodbye seeing that after today we won't be seeing the Madrid group again. It has been a long and crazy day but another great one in Madrid. Before I close this small post I will round up the 5 things I learned today.
11. Don't get close to statues in the streets, they tend to be real people that can really scare the life out of you.
12. Water is good for you.
13. Juice is called zumo not jugo
14. The ham museum does not actually have exhibits, rather it is yet another ham market.
15. Not all white people speak English.
