The end of my first week

Hello!
I cannot believe I have been here a whole week.  I would say it went fast, but it really didn't! School makes the days seem so long!

This Saturday we went to Toledo as a group.  I have never seen such a beautiful place in my whole life.  It is one of the oldest cities in Spain and has some of the most historic and gorgeous buildings in Europe.  There were so many breath taking moments while in Toledo.  The Cathedral is so big and every aspect is so detailed.  The streets are very narrow and have such character to them.
My closest friends and I partook in some serious shopping! They had the greatest souvenirs.  Toledo is known for their swords, so you can probably guess what I bought for my dad.. We just had such a great day.

I got back to my house around 6 and Skyped my mom then took a serious siesta.  I had dinner at 1030 and after my roommates and I decided we would go out for the night, since it was their last night in Spain.  We went to Sevilla and found a live band playing in the plaza, it was so fun.  We then headed to Sol and it was very crowded but still fun.  There is a spot in Sol that marks the exact center point of Spain, I was so excited to be there! We had a really fun night and my roommates were so great, I was sad that they had to leave!
 When I got home I felt pretty homesick. I am especially missing Michael. He would love it here, so I guess I will have to bring him back here for our honeymoon!
I am still having such a great time.  I love everything about Madrid and I look forward to all of the other things I will get to do here!
Today is a day for relaxing. I am heading to my friends house which has a  POOL and then I will come back to my place to do some homework and Skype my family.  I really don't like that I am missing fathers day but that's why Skype is the greatest invention of all time.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Miss you all!
Ill write again soon :)
Love,
Jess
