Ok, so we are nearing the much anticipated trip out of the United States. The itinerary has experienced some changes, mostly to keep our schedule open and flexible. Let me speak to our first city, Madrid:
-Leave USA Thursday afternoon
- Arrive Friday in Madrid
- through an innovative website, www.couchsurfing.org, we have been able to find complete strangers to stay with Friday night in Madrid. Our host's name is Paulo, and he has agreed to let us spend the night on his couch. I had a great time browsing this website and asking Europeans to host us. Paulo was our only successful reservation however. Hopefully this does not turn out to be the next type of Craig's List Murder Scheme, knock on wood.
One night in Madrid with Paulo and his roommates, and then on to Bilbao the next day to see Jojo "Spanish" Naughton. Jojo relocated to Bilbao after he graduated from JMU in 2008. He was a Spanish major and often shows off his Spanish speaking abilities. I hope that he talks to me in English at least, but that is kind of a long shot too.
Jay should be meeting me tomorrow in Washington DC; we have two days to finish packing and get any additional supplies. We will update before we get on the plane, adios for now.
