Living In Madrid

I have moved on from Lebrija to find work in Madrid. The first few days a stayed with a friend while looking for a place to stay. I found a Peruvian family to live with and they have been really nice. I have my own room which is the best part. The house is a 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom apartment with 5 adults and 2 children. So far I have not had any issues with the bathroom.

To be honest this is the closest I have been to being broke in my life and it isn't a pleasant feeling. It can be hard yet I didn't want to try to settle for a commitment to a lesser job while trying to find a better one. I hope it was worth the wait. I was just recently accepted to a company to teach Business English. I hope that it goes well and I think it will be an excellent learning experience.

I have been spending most of my time here with and American girl named Brook. this weekend we are going to celebrate her birthday. I have had a really great time with her and it will be sad to see her go in a few weeks.

So that is a brief summary of my life over the past several weeks. We'll see how it goes.

I have added some more pictures to flickr. Check the out here:
