Beware of Bathrooms

Okay, so our señora was convinced we put things in the toilet we weren't supposed to and caused the clog that is still not fixed. I want to go on record and say...te prometo que solamente usé el papel que estaba en el baño...seriously!

Good news...it is getting fixed and she has another bathroom yay! (that would be seriously bad news if that weren't the case).

But on to more exciting things. Joan (my roommate and I) had a great time exploring Sol (the center of Madrid). Yes, it's hot here, but the Madrileños are well aware of this and have prepared themselves (and us) for the heat. In parts of Sol canopies connected from the tops of buildings create shade for pedestrians definitely making for more pleasant window shopping etc.

Somehow I ended up in an Irish bar with the other American students and was not surprised when the people already there were busy watching the first football (not American....) game of the season. Don't worry, I'm going to try to make that my first and last stop at an Irish Bar.

Today was orientation where I was able to meet both the staff and the students who did not go on the walking tour. What I love about the program is that there are students from other American universities. After orientation we all left campus (again, just two buildings) to get some complimentary paella which was amazing :).

Things just taste better in España.
