Today was a much better day in terms of using the metro, we are finally starting to get the hang of it! We had a great second day of school and headed to the park to eat lunch after. Caroline and I have no problem taking a siesta in the afternoon after school, it's one of our favorite things about this culture.

We went to Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor today, two very well-known places in Madrid. Our favorite part was El Mercado de San Miguel! It is an indoor market filled with everything from fresh fruit, to seafood, to sweets. We loved looking around, and even tried Octopus (not sure I will ever try it again).

We absolutely love our host family! Manuela is so cute and funny and can talk for HOURS! She has been so good to us and we love hearing her stories. Our favorite is when she gets tickled at her own stories.

It is FINALLY starting to get warmer. We are hoping that starting tomorrow will be the weather that we packed for! We are having a blast and learning a lot!

Xoxo,
