The Prado!
An update, newspaper-style (because I know how much my sister appreciates news briefs...)
Americans visit famous museum:
Today I went with an American friend, Ashley, to the Prado, Madrid´s HUGE art museum. We were there a few hours and only covered one floor. I hope to return again later this week.
Spaniards eager to converse with American girl:
My host mother´s brother, Fernando, works at an English-language school here. I think Concha is worried that I´ll have trouble meeting people here, so she asked Fernando to introduce me to some of his students who are close to my age so we can go out for a "cerveza" (Concha´s words, not mine)...haha. So I talked to Fernando (who speaks English, thank the dear Lord) and he was really excited about the idea. Yay for more friends!
Student to learn about Spanish government:
Concha´s other brother, Manolo, works for the congress. Soon we´re going to have lunch with Manolo and he´s going to give us the inside tour! Friends in high places!
Other news...
I pledged my firstborn child to the post office this morning to send postcards (well, they weren´t THAT expensive)...Madrid´s post office is in a PALACE, woah. So you all better appreciate your postcards. :)

Hi! Angie! What's a "cervaza", and should I be worried?:) We're all doing fine--getting a little tired of rain, but we were lucky for Andy's graduation. I think it's rained every day since.
Not much else new, so will close. Am glad you're having a good time and a great experience! We love you and are very proud of you! Lots of love and prayers,
Mom,
"Cerveza" is beer...but don´t worry, I´ll be good. :) I won´t do anything Dad hasn´t done...
