Madrid - Day 1

Day 1 - group shot outside the Prado museum. Picture of the restaurant we went to after the museum.

First Day Pictures

Out of order - but group photo - the "pretrip" picture. Upon arriving in Madrid - the bus photo and the last one is a picture from the hotel room. Half of the students have this view overlooking the train station and the other half overlooking the Reina Sophia museum

WE MADE IT :)

We arrived one hour late into Munich and landed just as the connecting flight to Madrid was boarding. We went through passport control and security again and amazingly MADE the flight.
Lufthansa is a great airline - their food was great and the plane had individual TVs at the seats and was spacious.

We arrived in Madrid to find that my and Mike Cornells luggage did not make it :(
BUT they said it would arrive on the next flight from Munich and be delivered to our hotel by 7pm....and it was.

We went to the Prado museum from 6-8pm - went to dinner at a cute Spanish restaurant .... then took a mini walking tour.

Internet access was sketchy - sorry the blog was later than expected. Will post pictures tomorrow and have students blog tomorrow.

Everyone here says hello to everyone at home.

DAY of DEPARTURE

We leave today! I posted on the right hand side of this blog the links to our hotels in Madrid and Paris - check them out they look quite nice. ALSO - my international cell phone number is listed there - if you need have an emergency and need to reach us quickly that would be the easiest way. I also listed the hotel phone numbers there so if you wanted to check in with your student you can do that!
Here is to a bon voyage!

WELCOME

Welcome to the Madrid and Paris Trip blog. Our hope is to be able to post daily pictures and stories - depending on if we have internet access. Feel free to post a comment to your students!

Here is to a GREAT trip!
