So, I finally made it to Toledo. My trip was long, and it was really lonely, but I somehow found a way to 1) entertain myself and 2) stay awake the whole time.
Navigating Madrid was really easy, and I somehow miraculously found my hostel. The hostel was pretty nice, and I was able to meet up with some people in my group a night early, so that was cool.
We ended up going on a pub crawl, which was interesting, but we ended up meeting a few people, some from Ireland, some from Canada. Interesting group of people to party with, but we ended up having a great time.
This morning, we had to navigate the metro system again to get to our bus for the Fundación (hereafter referred to as "the Fund"), and met more people from our group. We were in the middle of the Plaza de Colón, and there was this giant Spain flag in the center, and it finally hit me that I'm actually here.
You know that grimy feeling you get when you've been sweating a lot and then it dries? It's kind of like that.
We arrived at the Fund, and I was really worried that I would have a roommate. Turns out, I don't... just someone I share a bathroom with, which is awesome. My room is really tiny and kind of feels like a closet... and it's pretty hot, but that was expected.
The Fund food is good too, today we had ham and beans, but the bread is the best.
I feel like this summer will definitely be an experience... if anything, I'll just learn to not take a shower for days on end.

What's your room number! I was in 8 something. Do you have an awesome view or are you stuck overlooking the courtyard? Also beware of the bread, it'll make you gain like 10 pounds (learned from experience...sad face). Love you, miss you, see you in like a week!
