The Voyage
My heart was beating so fast the whole day before I left and the entire car ride to the Sacramento airport yesterday morning. There was just so much to remember and so much unknown. Everything went smoothly though of which I am very grateful! I flew to Chicago, had a two hour layover than boarded Austrian Air to Vienna. The flight was eight and half hours, but it went by surprisingly quickly. The plane was pretty empty and I ended up getting three seats to myself, so I made myself a comfortable bed and got about four hours of sleep. We arrived in Vienna and had a five hour layover. It was fun hearing all of the German, I didn't hear one person speaking English in the entire airport! Finally we boarded the plane and arrived in Madrid at 4:10pm. There was 14 of us in the group and we decided to take the metro to Professor Shumway's house. Two line changes, 14 stops, and one wallet stolen from a girl in the group later we arrived at his house. It was quite comical walking from the Alcala metro stop to his house, about a five minute walk, with 14 students and their luggage. Professor Shumway's wife has made us all pasta- such a sweet lady- and somehow we are all sleeping here tonight before meeting our host families tomorrow. I'm so tired, but so excited!
