Day 2: We have arrived!!

Boy, was that a long flight in not very comfortable seats from Atlanta to Madrid.  But, we made it...and so did all our luggage!!!!  We met up with Patricia and headed to our hotel...and the rooms were ready!  *that never happens!  Our hotel is great - spacious, a/c, super location.  We dumped our bags, changed, and headed into center city for lunch.  Lunch was very typical Spanish food: croquetas and paella....yummmm!!  We did a little walking tour around center city, and went to the top of Corte Inglés store for a panoramic view.  Did a little shopping, and by 430, the kids were done.  Cool part of the day was when 4 PV students who are studying north of Madrid, met up with us.  As a teacher, to see your kids studying what you taught them...#proudseñorita
We headed back to the hotel for some down time and then had dinner in our neighborhood.  It's a quaint little neighborhood, very typical Spanish, so good for the kids to see non-touristy parts, where the real people live.  After that, they were pooped...early to bed as tomorrow is a fun day!!
