Finally a police officer, two american tourists and a very nice spaniard who could not speak english helped me drag my sweaty, smelly gross self to the front door. I walked in, dropped my bags and hopped in the tiniest shower I've ever seen, but it was wonderful. I slept well (surprisingly) and woke up to a nice breakfast and "Sex in the City." Now I'm going to go buy a train ticket for Seville for tomorrow and probably walk around the city, catch the Picasso Musuem. Hope everything back in the States is going well. You'll hear from me soon!

I made it!
So I've made it to Spain. Madrid, to be exact. My flights took me about 24 hours, and only included one or two foibles (like getting on my Chicago-London plane 45 seconds before the gate shut). My bags didn't get lost (good thing) but I had to carry them for 2 1/2 hours through three metros, then around the same square for 45 minutes trying to find my hostel, asking "hablo ingles?" then "do you know where calle de la victoria is?"
