Spring Break Begins

After putting it off and putting it off I am finally getting to my spring break blog. We did so did so much and went so many places that this might seem a little disorganized, but bare with me I promise this will be another exciting adventure for all my avid readers.

First off Italy is amazing! I love this country. The people, the food, the incredible views, the history, and of course the shopping. I could go on and on about how wonderful Italy is, but I will start with the beginning of trip.

Andrea, Jeanie, Victoria, Karen, and I left Thursday after lunch for Madrid, where we would be spending the night and getting a flight the next morning to Italy. This was April 2nd, yes I know I am about three weeks slow in getting this done. We stayed at quite possible the coolest hostel ever called Cats Hostel. It was decorated like La Alhambra with tiling and archways. There was four floors that all opened up to courtyard, meeting area in the center on the first floor. There was even a two bars and computers in the basement. The bathrooms were clean and the beds were not horrible, a little sinkage but not bad. We had a six-person room so there was some random guy that came in after we were all asleep. We never got to meet him, but I don’t think he appreciated us waking up at 5:30 the next morning so we could make it to airport on time.
