Welcome to Madrid!

After a long bus ride, we got to Madrid around 7:30 pm on Monday night. We got to our school and waited around for a while. Some of the boys played a pickup game of soccer with some Spaniards and we snacked and waited. We were subjected to an icebreaker and a load of announcements. Eventually we got our assignments and Ashley and I headed to the gym and set up shop in the dance studio. We had to venture on our own for dinner, so we had some amazing pizza and glasses of much needed wine. We ran (literally) back to the school and we all had to be subjected to the showers. Imagine a courtyard with a bunch of hoses connected to shower spouts. Then add some cheap plastic curtains with Coca-Cola on them around the square. That's it! We had to get in with our bathing suits to shower in ice cold water. Since Ashley and I had done some sprints beforehand, (and possibly due to the glass of wine) we though the showers were not that bad. I was thankful we had showers at all, plus, scalding showers are much worse!

We went to bed around one and got some decent sleep. We tackle Madrid in the morning! I'm looking forward to seeing the city and everything WYD has to offer.
