ESPAÑA!

As a recap, I just spent about five days in Greece, which was absolutely incredible. Athens had some sweet history, but I LOVED Santorini. It´s an island south of Greece, and it is magnificent. One day, we spent the day on a red beach. We kind of had to hike up a small mountain to get there, but it was well worth it. We also went for a hike through some of the countryside of Santorini, which was beautiful. If we had time, we might have made it to a tour of the active volcano, but we were satisfied with our self-made adventures. On our last night in Santorini, we went to a small town called Oia (pronounced EE-uh) to watch the sun set. It was beautiful, and I got some really pretty pictures.
We had a long ferry ride back, a long wait in the airport, and a flight to Spain, but we are now in Madrid. We just got here this afternoon, and we fell asleep immediately so we haven´t seen anything yet, but tomorrow, we plan on exploring the city as much as possible. We are spending two nights here and then we are off to Barcelona.
I am hoping that some of my high school Spanish classes will pay off, but I´m a little doubtful. We are having an amazing time, and I will try to update again soon!
