Sunday, June 6

Matthew and I were on a little bit of a vacation our first week in Spain (we could only be bothered to find the internet once since arriving), so I'm going to be doing a little backtracking to cover our arrival and our first few days.

As anyone that I talked to in the past month knows, we both had a long and exhausting journey to arrive to the little slice of heaven we are currently calling home. Pictures retelling my journey!!

El Paso Airport (they are Pin-yatas!)

Madrid Airport (which is really cool). Our flight from JFK was delayed an hour, which means we missed our connection in Madrid. The next flight was 5 hours later, so we got a free meal at one of the airport restaurants (thanks Iberia!). Our connecting flight was also delayed by almost 45 minutes. All in all, a much longer layover in Madrid than planned.


Santiago Airport. The customs guy was not happy with how heavy our suitcases were, so he made us totally unpack everything so he could go through it all, which does not make for a happy Ana (there was nothing to find). When we finally got out of customs, it was 6:04, and we get to the bus stop and realize that the bus left at 6. The next one is at 7. This bus then took us to the bus station where we took another bus to Puebla. We got there at 7:08. Our bus left at 7, and the next one was at 8. Delays, delays, delays...


Bus to Puebla, finally almost arriving...

But it was all worth it because it means that we get to live here for a month.



PS The dates as subject lines are the days that they are written, obviously not the day that they are posted, since we don't have daily access to internet.
