El Domingo!

Hello beautiful people of the Earth; I welcome you to join me as I journey through the bowels of the magical city that is Madrid, ES.

Let's go! Today is my first day with this blog. I am super excited, because it has taken a lot of energy for me to get off my lazy butt and get this thing up and running. But I am excited to finally have a place to vent my ideas to the rest of the world.

Well I'll get right into it. Today marks about the 1st cumulative week we have been in Spain with the Stanford Program. I LOVE IT. My host family is tight (consists of Pilar, Belen, & Javier), the peeps here are sweet, the food is incredible, so yeah life is pretty good for the average Spaniard.

We woke up this morning and went shopping in El Rastro, which is a huge shopping bazaar that opens every 1st Sunday of the month, hence today. Didn't buy anything, but I did get to sit down at a local cafe with some Stanford peeps to have some coffee. We had fun "people-watching."

I also took the Metro into Sol today and tried to go get my flamenco shoes -- so that was an epic failure. But it's okay, b/c i already have an indiana jones hat. NBD.

Okay that's all for now peeps. Stay tuned for more in the near future. Peace!
