Snow and Madrid







I'm not really sure what to put because there isn't much to say when you are locked up in a house all day because of four inches of snow. It's been about 2-3 years (according to mi madre) since it's snowed in Alcala. Maria (my house mom) her daughter build a snowman in the "front yard" which doesn't really exist but somehow she found room to build one. And I must say for not having snow that often she is a fantastic snowman maker.

Yesterday was our 1st time in Madrid and it was so much fun. We tried our best to stay warm and stay as a group... but it didn't work so well. I think we ended up splitting three times but we gained people. Anyone who spoke english tended to join us because they didn't know any spanish- we still weren't much help. We had an interesting guy follow us for about an hour and scared Bryanne to death when he came up behind her after we thought we lost him. But after we got on the train he was gone but all of us were paranoid.
