On my way to Madrid, Paris, and Nice

We are just finishing up orientation classes and taking our final test today to confirm what level of classes we will be in for the rest of the semester. Then tomorrow we go to Madrid with the whole program group until Monday and then on Tuesday to next Tuesday we are free to travel wherever. Tammy and I are going to Paris and Nice, France. I´m so excited to see different parts of Europe! We are staying in hostels and roughing it with food to save money. :) We´re going to go to the grocery store and buy bread, cheese, and olive oil to make sandwiches (our favorite kind that Julia makes). We´ll stash some in our backpacks and make due with what we have! (just like the typical poor students traveling Europe right?!) The days are going so fast, I can´t believe orientation is already over. Soon I will be writing that the program is starting to end and I will be coming home soon. CRAZY! But now I have to fill in exciting adventures in between. More to come from Paris and Nice! :)
