My turn

Eric is the one to blog usually because I have decided to completely disconnect from my phone. However being a true American I have an iPad so there is no such thing as being disconnected. As I have found in Spain as well.  Everyone has a smart phone and checks it constantly. 

I have to admit it is weird being in a foreign country and being able to speak the language or at least try to speak it. My Spanish is rusty but I find that I'm not an obvious American. At least with my speaking. My attire is a different topic. 

Madrid is a big city with lots of personality. The neighborhood in which we stay is a little quieter than most which is nice but you still get the random banchee yelling or a dog barking. That gets annoying says old person Shannon. 

I've learned that the sun doesn't rise before 9 here because the human doesn't after a night of cervezas and tapas. 

On that note ..... Voy a la cama. Buenas noches!
