I attended my last class in Spain May 8th. May 11th I moved out of my house in the small little neigborhood of La Navata and into Madrid city center - the heart of Spain. I'm staying in the room of a good friend from church who is in Puerto Rico right now. There are two other guys here right now, Esteban and Arnold. Things are going great. I went to Valencia, a city on the Mediterranean, last week and this Monday I head off to Barcelona. The 30th of May I head up to Dublin, Ireland to go leprauchan hunting.
I think the best thing so far about living in Madrid is the freedom. Freedom to move around the city with such ease and not have to wait forever for buses or trains to come. Freedom to stay out late and not have to call my exchange agency for permission to spend the night at a friends place. Freedom to eat what I want...which also means I have to cook, which isn't to bad, except when I don't feel like cooking. Freedom to wake up at 11:20am, leave for church at 11:29am, and arrive on time a 11:30am; this is so much nicer than traveling around an hour and a half to get to church and back every Sunday. Freedom to wear what I want...I could wear what I wanted before but in the smaller towns surrounding Madrid you stand out a lot more if you're different. Freedom to travel around Europe. Freedom to live, hope, love...:p
Here are some pics of Valencia's art and science center and of my church that meets in a night club on Sunday mornings.
