First full day in Madrid

Me on the balcony outside of my room

Today was my first complete day in Madrid. And though it was cold and even began to snow a little...it was absolutely amazing.

I am so excited to be in such a vibrant city. The Syracuse University Institute is not far from my apartment, and it is very spacious with many classrooms, a cafe, library, and more. Today our Azahar group went through the official orientation with SU, and we have all started to think about what else we will want to sign up for during the rest of the semester (wine tasting, hikes, walking tours, trips to Morocco, Italy, etc.)

It's a little overwhelming, but so exciting! Classes begin soon, but until then...I'm going to explore!

Adios,

Emily
