Hey there!

So we´re in Madrid finally! Seeing mom and Mitz has been wonderful. Michelle had her first orientation with the school she´ll be teaching at today and she´s more excited than ever. She met a couple from Colorado that she hit it off with right away (of course)and we´re going to a cocktail happy hour with everyone from her school tonight so we get to meet alot of them. I´m so happy for her!
So far we´ve taken it pretty easy. It´s nice to be able to settle into one place for a week! We went and saw the Royal Palace during the day.

We saw a genuine flamenco show last night Flamenco Dancers
Flamenco Dancers
 . Dancers, singers and guitar players. I've finally added some of the pictures that came out.
Anyway, I love Flamenco even more than I always have and am even more determined to take Flamenco dance lessons. Shocking eh?

Eating all of this foreign food is really catching up to me. I´m now on a pretty steady diet of bread, water, sandwiches, wine (of course) and other simple foods. I´m having to give up beer for a while after all our time in Eastern Europe and a complete splurge on Paulaner in Germany! I´m dying for a huge plate of Nachos and smothered burritos. Chris has been thinking about his breakfast burritos! ;)

Well, just wanted to give a litte update. I don´t have many Spain pics this time but I will next time with more stuff to jabber about!
