Today we made the 4-hour journey back to Madrid from Granada. It is just as hot here, but there is, sadly 100% less air conditioning. The bus ride was just as sweet as last time, complete with leather seats, a snackbox, and a smooth Mercedes engine. I tried to sleep on the bus but ended up watching Juno instead (No, not in Spanish. Bad Mary).

| So good to be back where we belong! |
When we got back to the apartment in Salamanca (our neighborhood in Madrid), I realized I'd left one of my power converters in the hotel (of course), and there was no one home anyway, so I went out to the Corte Ingles (think Target on steroids) to buy a replacement. The place is huge, and I checked all 9 floors before realizing there was a whole other building across the street. Finally I broke down and asked for help, after a quick Google Translate of "power converter." The mission was a success.
It's nice to be back, and I didn't really have anything scheduled for the rest of the day, so I decided to take a little nap to make up for the one I didn't get on the bus. That was around 6. I just woke up, and it's now just after 9. That'll take care of the day, all right.
Tomorrow morning we meet with Ramiro to check out Carlos III for the first time and take our language placement exams. Wish me luck!
I couldn't wish you good luck in Espanol. Mais enFrancaise nous dit "Bonne chance!" But I don't really think you need any luck at all.Years of work and study will pretty much do the trick.
