I finally found internet at McDonalds!!!

Hola! So before I post everything and confuse you with the order, let me explain.

Finding internet in Spain is way harder than I expected - that, and Spanish WiFi and American computers are not friends. In my house [don't worry, I'll tell you all about it soon] there IS one bar of slow internet, but my computer won't connect to it. Right now, I'm sitting on the second story of McDonalds, which is one of the few places that has internet this time of day. [It's 3pm, and most shops are closed from 2-5.] Very soon I will get my password for internet at school, but you'll have to forgive the order of my updates, as I've been writing them without internet, and a few times a week when I have access I'll post them all at once.

That also goes for pictures - I've taken so many already, and have lots to share, but slow internet = EXTREMELY slow download time.

I left the United States a week ago tomorrow, and already I could write novels about the rediculous cultural differences, the crazy food, the incredable architecture and people... everything. And I've been keeping record of it on here, but McDonalds only gives you 20 minutes of internet per purchase, and my yogurt parfait [which is WAY better than the ones in the US, by the way] and internet privledges are almost finnished :/

So expect updates all at once and very soon from the rest of Madrid, Toledo, and my first few days here in Salamanca. And in the mean time, here's a video I made this morning in the Plaza Mayor, the central meeting place here in Salamanca. Take note of some of the interesting people that walk by while I'm filming.
