Bienvenidos a Madrid!
Authored By:
When we first arrived in Madrid we were greeted by our program coordinator, Jorge's smiling face. We then took a bus to our residential dorms, our new home for the next 3 weeks. After lunch in the cafeteria we went to the CIEE center for orientation followed by a much needed rest.
After sleeping off most of the jet lag we went on a walking tour of our neighborhood, had pizza for lunch and spent the afternoon relaxing and playing games.
With art always as out guiding force, we've been keeping this quote in mind:
"Art is a discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use."
-Frank Loyd Wright
