I´m Melting In Madrid!

Well I have arrived... after traveling for over 17 hours with no sleep I have found my hotel. I sat next to the nicest old lady on my way to Amsterdam. She was traveling with her two daughters and two granddaughters for a trip to Scotland! We had a great time chatting and in between, I ended up watching three movies... I love on demand when you fly! I ended up catching up with Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire, and He´s Just Not That Into You. Three entertaining movies for the 8 plus hour ride. Upon arrival to Amsterdam it was 6:00 a.m. and NOTHING was open. It was pretty dull. I love the Amsterdam airport, but forgot how difficult it is to catch a snooze there! After a 6 hour layover and still no sleep I caught my plane to Madrid. I got about 40 minutes of shut eye since I had no one sitting next to me. The plane was less than half full so we could all spral out! It was SO nice! The 40 minutes should be enough to last me for the next three hours so I don´t fall asleep to early. I know how that game works... if I do that I wake up at like 3:00 and am off schedule for like a week! After a twenty minute taxi ride I found my hotel after wandering around aimlessly due to road construction. Thank goodness for the kind Spanish people! It is amazing how fast my Español is coming back... it is even more exciting that people can understand me! I was a little worried that maybe Hungarian had taken over my brain where Spanish used to be. Thank goodness they are both still there! The only thing that could make this day a little better is some cooler weather. It is HOT! Tomorrow I meet my group at 10:00 and we will be off to the highlands of Soria! It should definately be cooler there! I will post again when I can! Sorry for the ramblings... When I haven´t slept for a long time I tend to go on and on! Happy Thursday!
