Hola Madrid!!!

Months of anticipation culminated in our arrival at Madrid-Barajas airport. Though we nearly missed the flight, we arrived safely. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Julie from Puerto Rico on the plane. She taught me the ways of the Spanish people and upon arrival I fumbled through a conversation with our affable taxi driver, Luis, as we made our way to our new home.
Who knows the wonders that await upon the vast corridors of Madrid, but for now it's time for sleep. Travel can certainly drain you but the takeaway from this first day of travel is that, people are nice enough if you let them be. Smile, reach out, have no fear. Kind hearts can get you settled.
