First day at the center today...it's really close to the apartment which is nice. Right now I'm sitting outside the Palacio Real stealing internet and relaxing. It's a gorgeous day here and sitting out here is relaxing, even though I have a bit of homework to do.

We went to lunch at VIPS on Gran Via and walked from there home, so I got to see a little bit of what is around here. I think the shops might be a little dangerous. I'm going to have to do my best to use self control.

And so the greatness continues. I'm loving everything here so far! Sooner or later I will write all about Mare Nostrum & my first two weeks in Spain.
