¡Hola de España! (Jan. 7-8) by Reid H

Today we arrived at the Nashville airport at 7:45 in the morning  Since we got there early, we had time to go get breakfast and hang out with all of our friends departing from Nashville before we left.  We got to Philadelphia around 1pm and had about six hours until our connecting flight departed.  During this time, we explored the Philly airport, which was a fun airport for a layover  due to the various restaurants and stores.  Finally, around 8pm, we took off for Spain.  During our flight, we watched movies, listened to music, and even ate the luxurious airplane food.  Everyone tried to sleep on the airplane because of the huge time difference.  Once we arrived in Spain, it was 8:30am.  We went straight to our hotel, checked in our baggage and left for the Reina Sofía, where we saw works by famous artists like Dalí and Picasso.  We were so tired from the jet lag, that when we had a break in the museum from the tour, we fell asleep on the floor. 

Once we finished exploring the Reina Sofía, we came back to the hotel and took a siesta until 6pm.  In Spain, dinner is served very late in the evening.  We left our hotel to eat at 8:15pm at Restaurante La Catedral, where we tried many tapas including our group's favorite, jamón.  Following dinner, we came back to the hotel and went straight to bed.  We can't wait to share what other adventures we will experience!!
