We simply cannot believe we have already been here for over a week! Where has the time gone?

We´ve stepped our feet on kilometro cero in the center of Sol and we got a chance to pose in front of the Tio Pepe sign, a traditional Spanish landmark in Madrid. 

We´ve managed to travel via metro with ease and we are becoming real regulars at it! 

During our community converstaions we have had the opportunity to ask locals about their opinions on food, famous monuments, and even their taste in magazines. We cannot believe how much Spanish we are using! 

Already we hae gone to a bull ring or mejor dicho Plaza de Toros, we have kayaked in a condor reserve! Here kayaking is called Piragüismo

We got a chance to meet a local POP ART artist named Javier Granados. He shared his passion for art and we got to ask questions during our Community Conversations activity. Later some of us got a chance to show off our own artistic abilities by painting ceramics! 

We have been having so much fun here and we cannot believe how quickly time is passing!
