I really do love it here.
Madrid is a busy, lively, big, beautiful city that I've already fallen in love with.
We've spent every evening outside on a restaurant terrace enjoying a glass of wine, the real Spanish way.
I had orientations all week for my school I'm teaching at and my masters program.
I'm exhausted from information/boring information overload but excited to start teaching next week.
And I made new friends AND found an apartment that I'll be moving into next weekend!
Things are all coming together.
My momma leaves me today :(
I'm really hoping homesickness doesn't set in after she leaves.
This weekend I'm focusing on practicing Spanish, hanging out with my new friends, hopefully meeting some Spanish friends and exploring even more.

Beautiful pictures! One of these days I'm going to visit Spain. I'm always trying to speak my basic Spanish to the Italians so I figure I should try it with the Spaniards.
Amazing Nicole! Enjoy your time! I can't wait to go back to Spain for a visit. I miss the food, the sights,and everything!

The paella photo is insane. Actually, all of your photos are. I'm thrilled to have found you! We were both featured on Meg's blog today. Xoxo
these pictures are incredible, post pics of your apartment when you move in! i bet your sad about your mom leaving but think of all the fun you're going to have!
It took you two weeks to find an apartment, how did you do it? I JUST secured on, after 3 months!!
I always wanted to see Madrid, and seeing your pictures now I know I have to. Soon hopefully!!!! :)
Have a good weekend!!
So glad I found your blog...I will live vicariously through you. I LOVE Spain! I studied in Salamanca for a Summer. I think it's so cool you're teaching at getting your masters there. If I didn't have a husband and kids I would be there in a second! I can't wait to read all about your journey!
España is the best!
congrats on the apartment! the metropolis building kinda reminds me of one of those buildings in north beach. a little bit of home in spain :)
ooh how cool! These photos are beautiful, by the way. And what a cool new chapter of life. Spain looks absolutely gorgeous.
See... settling in already with friends and new digs! You'll be a full fledged Madrileña before you know it :)
hooray!!
I really wish I could come visit you and hang out together on one of those restaurant terraces with a glass of wine.. !
I have been to Madrid once and I loved it. I didn't want to leave. I am happy that things are coming along for you. :)
