DISCLAIMER: I HAVE taken pictures. I just didn't bring my transferring-from-the-camera-to-the-computer cord. So, I will update photographically when we get home. After sleeping for a long time.
Church was good, but after the time change (trans-Atlantic, not Daylight Savings), we were struggling to stay awake. We took turns poking each other so that we wouldn't complete doze off during prayers. We're very spiritual like that, you know. The church very kindly let us set up our Union paraphernalia table after the service, and we were able to talk to a handful of potentially interested students.
After church, Brad and I set off to explore Madrid! Our church hosts dropped us off at the metro, and off we went. The Madrid metro system is waaaaaaaay different than Kiev; it was incredibly user-friendly. The only thing that almost embarrassed us was the fact that you have to push a button/lift a lever to get the doors to open. Didn't realize that at first, so when we stopped at the first stop and the doors didn't open, we got ever so slightly panicky that we were going to be trapped on the metro forever. Ok fine...that was me. Brad was a tad bit more reasonable. Thankfully, we were able to watch people use them before we had to get off. Whew.
We gave ourselves a walking tour of some places in the center of Madrid, including the Plaza Mayor, Catedral de la Almunedo, and the Palicio Real. We finished up by walking to the Plaza Espana, realizing we were exhausted, and heading out to meet up with our host. Brad was super happy because we got to use the metro and take a train (he loves public transport).
We CRASHED at bed time. Like, big time crashed. And then slept for 11 hours...
More to come! Buenas noches.

Yeah! So glad things are going well! Love reading your blog! Love and prayers, Twila
If you're headed to France, I think you have to push the button there, too. Just a heads up!
Have fun adventuring!
