i made it! i made it! i made it! spain is so amazing and i have only been here for 24 hours. i meet four really cool girls almost immediately after i landed. kristen, liah, and molly are all from kansas and christina is originally from sweden but moved to massachusetts. my roommate is really nice but we are pretty different which is ok, i actually think it might be easier living with someone for four months and not hang out with them all the time. the entire group went out to dinner last night and then the five of us went out to a bar called dubliners where we tested our spanish with the locals. today we went to a museum and then went to the royal palace where king phillip v lived. it was BEAUTIFUL! unfortunately i wasn't allowed to take pictures inside of either the museum or the palace. we are going to a monastery tomorrow and then leave for granada on sunday. i think that i might move to spain when i graduate (smith we might need to forget skyscrapers and switch our dreams to european architecture). when i was at lunch today, these four business men were taking there 3 hour break in the middle of the day enjoying a leisurely lunch, a bottle of wine, and a game of cards--talk about the good life.
time for my siesta! more later...
love, grayson
ps. chin chin means cheers
