Spain today, England tomorrow

So last night we went out for one last hoorah after dinner. It was pretty fun. Then today we went to the Reina Sofia Museum, which has artists work such as Dali, Picasso, and Miro. I liked this one a little more than the Prado. We saw the Guernica, which is a pretty important painting in Spanish history. After we went out for lunch and then went shopping again. Tonight for dinner we ate at the world's oldest restaurant (according the Guinness Book). It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. And also very expensive. We all ordered different types of meat and passed them around. Veal, suckling pig, cornish hen, lamb, and filet mignon... ahh delicious. We had 6 different bottles of wine with our dinner. Pre-food wine, one for tapas, 2 for the main dish, and 2 for dessert. It was such a fun last time to be together and enjoy the wonderfulness of Spain with the family of friends I've been traveling with for the last month. I can't believe it's over. As of midnight (2 1/2 hours ago) we're officially free of anything school related.

My flight to London is at 3pm tomorrow. Let's hope everything goes smoothly. I'm still really nervous about having to nagivate airports by myself. Not just navigating airports, but getting to and from them. Oh boy, this is going to be interesting. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. I can do this! In London I have to take a train and then a taxi. Getting in a taxi by myself is one of my biggest fears. Think about it: they can take you anywhere they want and no one would know. Uhhh, yeah. So if no one hears from me within the next 24 hours, someone call the London police. Tomorrow I'm going to call Kate when I get there and meet up with her after I've found my hostal. I'm so sad to leave Spain, but I am excited to see familiar faces and see another country.

The feeling that I have now is about the same as I had the night before leaving to come to Spain. It's that anxious, but excited uncertainty. I'm learning to like it...kind of. I'm supposed to have some free wifi in my hostel in Londres so there should be an update tomorrow. But it's late here and I've gotta get up early to pack (what's procrastination?) and get on the move. Wish me luck!
