Arrived safely

Hi everyone- this will probably be a pretty quick post, as i´m in an internet cafe and have only 13 minutes left before i´m booted off. Anyway, just wanted to write that i made it here safely (and with all my belongings, which is a big relief). The flights went fine and i had a very friendly cab driver who told me all about the different neighborhoods and major attractions in Madrid, as we were driving away from the airport.

I made it to the girl´s apartment where i will be temporarily staying while i search for my own apartment. I´m exhausted, since i basically didn´t sleep at all last night...but in an effort to stay on a normal schedule, I only took a short nap and then decided to go out and walk around. I walked around the area where this girl lives and it´s very nice--she definitely lives in the center of the city so its pretty crowded and there is a lot going on. I managed to find a place with computers and internet, so i was pretty happy about that. Now i´ll probably just go back to her apartment for a bit, and then later today I have my first two apartment visits, so i´ll get to see other parts of the city and meet some of my potential roommates. So, that should be interesting...anyway, not much else to report for now, especially given how little sleep i´m on, but i´m sure i´ll have much more to say in the next few days.
