Forgetting things, like hats, and learning new things, like that swiss air serves complimentary croissants

So I embarked on this journey at 9:30pm on sunday night and arrived at about 12:30pm Spain time. I did not sleep a wink on the flight and lost my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates hat somewhere along the way. So after quickly discovering that my hotel's airport shuttle stopped running at noon I hired a cab and we haphazardly drove our way around until finally finding my hotel.





I proceeded to sleep and watch tennis the entire day. The next day I headed back to the airport to meet with IES adminstrators and get all of my housing information, etc. I then set off in a cab again, this time with a decidedly surer footing to my homestay with Sra. Francisca Vidal. Thus far, my homestay has been nothing, if not delightful. Expect more updates soon.
