Cross-City Adventure!

Hello Everyone,

On last Thursday, September 15th, Maggie (one of the other exchange students) and I went on an adventure. We needed to buy bus tickets for us, Joe, and Marley (an exchange student outside of the city) for our trip to Madrid this week. We are all going to Madrid together for our Rotary Youth Exchange Orientation. Maggie goes to school down the street from my school. After classes, we met outside my school and walked to the bus stop. We then took a bus across the city to the train/bus station to buy our tickets. Ehhh...well, almost to the train/bus station. We went a little too far on the bus so when we got off, we had to walk a little to the station whcih was fun because we could see the station but it took us a few tries to get there. It took a few tries because the streets we went on didn't connect in a way that we could get to the station but we eventually got there. When we got into the station, we went up to the counter and told the woman that we needed four tickets and what times we needed. After we bought the tickets, Maggie and I were feeling pretty good because we got to the station and ordered exactly what we wanted in spanish without having to repeat ourselves or have the woman working repeat herself. We then walked back across the city and stopped in a cafe for tapas and coca-cola. Maggie then took the tram home and I got on my bus home to Cuarte de Huerva. It was a really fun day! We shared many stories and a lot of laughs were had!

Until next time, Brian
