Madrid

So we flew here and the plane ride so was so SCARY! at first we had so much turbulance my stomach was bouncing up and down, so i took an anxiety pill and fell asleep in like 15 minutes and told ellen to wake me up when it was dinner. They started walking by with dinners 30 mins later so she woke me up but it took them like an hour to get us our food bc we were sitting in the VERY BACK of the plane! any ways i couldnt go back to sleep the entire plane ride and neither could ellen bc we had so much turbulance the entire time, i even took another pill even tho it was probably not good for me bc it was so bad and still couldn´t sleep. BTW im really sry this blog is so late we dont have enternet at our hotel here in Madrid. Anyways i read like the entire plane ride finishing my book. Then we arrived in Paris, and got to see the Ifel( or how ever you spell it) Tower form the plane which was cool. I got to speak French to the ppl at the airport to order food for my friends which was fun i had a little conversation with one of the guys. Then we all passed out form complete exhustion on our second flight to madrid. Then we got our stuff met Megan and Davan our National Geographic leaders (not photographers) and took a bus to our hotel. One problem, there was so much construction our bus couldnt take us all the way the hotel. It was not that far down tho so we rolled carried our luggage to the hotel , which is okay, def not what i was expecting at all but its okay we stay in like a 4 star hotel at one point. So then we rested for a little while then when out to take pics and look at the city for half a day. Madrid is a really interesting city but on our first day we lost connor, well more like he lost us, and took us an hour to find him. He went to a store to use the bathroom with out telling anyone.

Then we went to a square and had a drink and took pics it was really cool day. I got to have really cool dinner Real Sanish food, they are obsessed with hap btw but it is like really lean like no fat it is really good. Then we went back to the hotel and crashed i think i cant remember exactly. The days are merging.

Yesterday we got to have a real spainsh breakfast which is like coffee and maybe a roll. Not much but im not a breakfast person so i like it, i have hot milk with chocolate and a roll it is really good. then we went to a park to have orrientration to get to know the National Geo leaders better which was a lot of fun. And took pics while we were there. Then for lunch i had Indian food which was really good, all the food i have had its great. Any ways after lunch we went to a museum which was realy cool they had a bunch of picasso and a new photography exhibit. or was that the day before i cant remember. o yeah it was

Then after that we learned how to take panning pictures which was fun i got some good ones. we didnt get to have dinner till 11 which was annoying but we got pizza whicxh was really good.

Today we went to a more traditional art museum which was really good. then we broke up into groups and went to lunch we had pealla. Then went to visit the roayl palace and now i am here GTG love yal inform you more when in Grananda!
