Madrid Spain

Miriam has arrived in Spain and it seems that she is making herself comfortable in her new digs and is handling the classes she signed up for just fine.  What can I say--she's AMAZING!  Her first days in Madrid she had a little tour of the area and then settled into her apartment and began her college experience.  She is taking 5 classes.  Three Spanish related: literature, grammar, and theatre. And she has a sociology class and one about the history of Madrid.   She has to adjust to eating in Spain in the coming days.  Breakfast at 8 a.m., Lunch at 1:30, and then dinner at 8 p.m.  She did make an exciting discovery after she visited an office supply place.  They have an Aldi.  Aunt Becky told her to take a picture of the produce section.  Apparently they were both excited!  Miriam will be in Spain until December 23rd.  And then--back to boring Bronx!

Her apartment isn't on campus.  It's a 35-40 minute

subway plus bus ride away! 

This is her apartment during the day.

This is her apartment at night.  Her bed raises
up to the ceiling during the day and lowers down at night.

Probably don't need to tell you what this is!

This is her refrigerator.  She said
it is the size of a boot size shoe box
