almost there

Hello again. I leave in less than two days. Ahhhh!!! It has been crazy trying to get everything ready to go. Making sure I don't forget anything, maps, toothbrush, and most importantly deodorant! No, seriously, making sure my bags aren't overweight has probably been the hardest thing. Plus, trying to navigate maps in Spanish isn't exactly easy. I'm used to the grid system in Utah, and Spain is definitely not on the grid system. It basically looks like someone threw a bunch of roads down on a piece of paper and called it good. But the pictures I've seen are amazing. Right by where I'm living there's this beautiful fountain. I found it on Google Earth yesterday, and I still can't believe I'm going to be living across the street from something like that. Oh, and there's about five bakeries within walking distance from me. Ah yes, that sounds like something I could endure.
Anyway, I'm super excited to get to Madrid on Friday, even though it's supposed to rain all day. However, the weather looks bright and sunny for Saturday, so that will be nice to wake up to. Wish me luck!!!

Hey! Hope you remembered your deodorant. Did you actually get to Spain yet? I haven't heard anything.
