(its ten to 5 your time)

So I arrived here in Cuidad Real at 2. It was absolutely amazing.
My tour guide in Madrid told me that Cuidad Real was " The Dumps" of Spain but hey what ever right... he can't be telling the truth and hes OBVISULY making it appear worse than it really is so...
we woke up at 7 and I had a shower and what not then we went down for breakfast which was absoltuely amazing. A croisant and a danish dessert pastery and fruit. It was amazing. Then we went back up to our rooms and brought out luggage down to the lobby. The people staying in Madrid were met at the hotel by their host families and the rest of us that were either taking a train or plane waited while they were picked up. At around 10:30 the planers and trainers brought their luggage to the bus around the block and packed up. We went to the airport to drop off two girls before we went to the train station. When we got to the train station it was absolutely amazing..... GORGEOUS TO THE MAXXX!!!Ill put pictures up later cuz im far to lazy to do it right now and plus my hands are freezing off becuase this house is SOOO freaking cold lol like honestly outside is warmer than inside. Its silly. but oh well....
So after we went to the train station four of us went through security and got our tickets and what not and said goodbye to Javier. (He was our tour guide) and then we waited around for about half an hour (12:00-12:30) then we boarded our train at 12:30 (Madrid time)The train left at 1 o'clock. It was a super fast train and there was this creeeeepy old man in an orange sweater that stared at me the entire time. It was WERID! I was like EEEK! But anywya yea I fell asleep on the train as did the other three people I was travelling with.
As the train pulls into Cuidad Real station we are greeted by mounds of garbage QUITE SIMILAR TO A DUMP and Alex says to me wow it really IS the dumps hahahaha Anywya yea but when I got off of the train it was sooo gorgeous! The sun was shining and it was soo nice and warm unlike back at home were I hear you are all freezing your asses off HAHAHA! SUCKS TO BE YOU! (Excpet im cold too but its because I am inside and NOT outseid ) lmao. So I walk in the doors and theres Tere and her family. I was so excited I ran down and threw my bags to the ground and jumped on her. Then I proceeded to hug everyone and what not. Then they stole my luggage and wouldn't let me carry it. Darn goofs! Anyway yea I now live like 5 minutes from the train station here in Cuidad Real but we took the long way home.... around the city and through the streets and junk. Its a very nice place to tell you the truth.... REALLY nice; but it is small/ It kind of reminds me of Abuelos house mom! But anyway when we got home I was like WOAH! Because mom the house in the picture Tere showed us didn't do the house justice. its MAGNIFICENT! absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! Its HUGE, the floors are ALL tile. Dad would love this house. SO spainish hahahha! I will definately post pictures of it as well... when I get a chance lol. Maybe ill just put them on a website and what not so its easier for me +thinking face+ So yea when we got home I kind of unpacked and what not then I her mother and father went to town I guess to get a dish of piaya (or how ever you spell it) and mom you are going to be so proud of me... I ate everything except for the shrimp because it still had the eyes and I felt guilty eating it. Anyway after lunch i completely unpacked and now i am moved in haha. Then we tried to get my lap top here to connect to the internet but it wouldn't work becuase well we dont know haha but then we gave up and I took at nap at 5 and I woke up at 7 hehe. Then we had a snack and watched Gladiator while Teres mother straightened her hair. It was a good time. Then while that was all going on Teresas fathers friend came over to hook my computer up to the internet. his name is Cleto. Kinda cool, anyway yea they fixed it obviously becuase I am online now writing this jajaja but yea ummm then what. Oh yea I had to plug in my lap top because the battery was sooo deat it was great +thumbs down+ Then ummmmm (interuption KRISTEN ITS 11:11 HERE!!!!!!!!) I came into my room and now I am writing this. I hope everyone at home is as happy as I am here because I am definately happy. I can not wait for my first day tomorrow. Its going to be SO MUCH FUN! I have already talked with a few of Teres friends and they are all excited to see me as I am them. Anywya its getting late and we have a big day tomorrow so Chao!!!
