Spain, we have arrived!!

greetings!
after a gruelingly long travel experience, we are finally in Madrid! We flew to Newark and then had a two hour delay. we met a few girls and this one boy who was going on a backpacking trip! We finally got on the flight nearly three hours later and we set off for our overseas adventure! We watched movies and attempted to fall asleep, but failed miserably. We arrived in Madrid seven hours later and met our group and directors. After arriving at the hotel, we got our room assignments and then we went to explore! There is such beautiful architechture and we went to a Botanical Garden! Took lots of fun pictures and explored around the El Prado museum. We plan on going there tonight, when its free, before our panoramic bus tour and orientation meeting. We can't wait to see what all is planned! We'll blog again soon!!
