After the 8 hours of lack of sleep and airplane food we were all a little crazy. We finally arrived in Madrid and took a bus to a hostel and spent the night there. The volunteers had us play different games such as Bulldog, Samurai, and "the kissing game" - all very interesting. No one got much sleep knowing that we will be in the hands of our host families soon.
The next day there were nine of us who hopped on a train to Galicia. After five hours of watching movies, talking, and contemplating our exact location, the train stopped in Pontevedra and there was a mob of host families waiting for us. Carmen, Mateo, and Sofia took me out to dinner in the city then we drove home where I got a much needed sleep.
Yesterday we drove around town and I got a glance at my school - it's beautiful. My mama took us to the docks where we looked at monuments, fish, and ate mango ice cream. We then drove up a hill to some ruins and there was an amazing view of the Atlantic and the coast. Sofia then went off with a friend and Carmen, Mateo, and I walked on the beach for a while. When we arrived home my mama made us all some alphabet soup.
