First Day in Madrid, Spain!

Hello folks. It's been a long time no talk, but I have come back to talk of my travels in Spain, as I study abroad for the spring semester. I arrived a bit early, 9:25 a.m. local time exactly, and the weather was beautiful. I really can get used to 40s and 50s, considering Utica is posting some negative temps right now. I got off the plane, after meeting a couple of Jersey girls who were in a different program than I, and separated from the pack arriving at the metro station after about 2 miles of walking. I got my tickets and rode the train forever, getting off, getting on, dropping luggage, etc. I finally got off the subway and walked around the Puerta del Sol for awhile, and finally got up the nerve to ask some policias where my hotel was. I made it to my hotel, and found my roommate, a fellow Rochestarian, sleeping soundly. I proceeded to call my parents and girlfriend to let them know of my safe arrival.
After a brief nap, as on the plane it was impossible to sleep, I went out to lunch, the main meal in Spain, with James, my roommate, and Rocio, our program director. After some Jamon con Melones y unos pescados, we went to a souped-up Macy's, El Corte Ingles, to purchase a cell phone service. After that and my head full of inexplicable Spanish, I took a solid six hour nap. After awaking, I showered and got a quick sandwich to eat before again going to bed. And so my first day was full of sleep, food, and Spanish; what a combo!
