The week in Madrid

On Monday we started the trip to Madrid. We had to wake up very early because we met in school at 4:45 am. After everybody arrived in school with the suitcases we went by a private bus to the airport. There we checked-in and we waited a long time for the plane. After some hours there was the boarding and our flight started. It was a very good flight and after two and a half hour we arrived in the rainy, cold Madrid. We waited for our luggage and after that we took the underground to the school of our exchange partners. There we met our Spanish friends. Later on, they greeted us and presented a video of their school. Everyone was really tired. Therefore, my exchange partner, called Maria, and I walked to her home. She showed their flat to me and after I brought my package into my room, we went to Maria’s grandma to eat lunch. It was a very interesting meal because I never ate this fried seafood before. The dessert was something like fried bread with sugar. In the evening we met other members of the exchange and we went to some parks. We walked around and then we sat in a restaurant. We talked a little bit and had some fun. Finally we left the shopping center and we walked back home, where I met the rest of Maria’s family. We had dinner together and after that I went into my room for sleeping. It was a very exciting day and I gained many new experiences.
