Hello from Madrid!
I arrived in Spain early Sunday morning after almost a full day of traveling. And while the city is beautiful and I am so excited to explore every part of it, I have spent most of my time here in bed. As soon as I got off the plane on Sunday, I started feeling sick and I have had a fever every night since. And if that wasn't great enough I felt so awful this morning that I had to miss my first day of classes and went to a spanish hospital! The doctor only spoke a little English so we ended up speaking Spanglish to each other, but it all worked out! Turns out I have a respiratory infection along with my fever. So I got medicine and rested all day. Even half a day later though I feel a lot better! I'm hoping to feel a lot better by this weekend so the adventures can finally commence!
While I have been resting a lot, I have had the opportunity to see a few places. On Sunday my roommate Emily and I explored the streets near our apartment. We ended up at a small cafe and picked random things off the menu which ended up being really good! We also had a nice glass of wine... because why not? We're in Spain now! After our lunch we walked to the nearby park that we plan on running in when I start feeling better!
Yesterday we were able to see the palace and the cathedral and many of the plazas. We used the metro for the first time and saw some friends from school. We got lots of pictures of the beautiful buildings as well! I will post some pictures on here later and write more about my adventures once they actually start happening! Sorry I didn't have much to write about but I wanted everyone who knew that I was sick to know that I'm feeling better already and hoping to be a ton better by this weekend!
Con amor desde Madrid
Jenna
