Our first day of class and exploration was today. In the beautiful cave-like classroom, Profesora Lokos gave us an introduction to the course and a sneak peek as to what amazing city adventures, plays and texts we are going to explore within the next four weeks. After class we split up and did some sight-seeing of our own: one group toured the Prado Museum while another went “out west” and visited the Palacio Real and the Catedral de la Almudena.
Some things we have learned thus far:
- Embrace the Spanish “siesta”- it’s a great recharger after a long walk around the city
- Dress up more, or the vendors, and restaurant workers will know you’re American
- Don’t be afraid to take a new pathway– often times you will find a new adventure
- Don’t be afraid to try new food!! Especially the tapas!
Great first picture! Keep them coming!
Love being able to follow your adventures in Spain!
Relish each and every moment of this special time !
