I've successfully completed my first week of school- how exciting!? ...not really- it's just school! But I definitely think the classes are going to be harder than some at Butler. Or maybe it's because I'm in a different country and would rather be traveling than reading about the history of Latin America. Regardless, I'm still excited to finally be back in school mode, I need to get my stuff all in order!!
This morning I went grocery shopping with mi familia. Things to know about shopping in Spain
1. Their carts are so weird- they're low to the ground with a handle and little wheels and you just pull them around behind you.
2. In order to carry your stuff home- you will need to have brought bags with you, otherwise they charge you for the plastic ones.
3. Stores don't like you carrying around bags from other places- so they provide lockers for you to place your stuff in while you walk around and shop.
Tonight is La Noche en Blanco- it takes place in Madrid and for the entire night- all the stores, museums, restaurants and other things all stay open! And a lot of them are free and you get to go exploring through all of it. Apparently it's just a huge party in the city and thousands of people go. So tomorrow I will have an update on that!
Otherwise, nothing is really new. So here's some photos!!
