Do you see this map? This is a map of San Sebastian. Yesterday, Jen and I had our first private Spanish lesson in a part of town we aren´t too familiar with. We thought we had the buses all figured out. We made it there fine, went to our class, and decided to get something to eat before we headed home. Seeing as we haven´t had red meat since we arrived, we have been craving a good burger. The good news is we found a burger joint called "La Vaca" and indulged on hamburgers, french fries and beer. After paying our bill, we realized it had gotten late. We went back to the bus stop and figured we could catch the last bus on the 24 line to get home. No problem. We had to all figured out. After riding on the bus for almost an hour, we soon realized we were the ONLY ones on the bus. Suddenly, the bus driver stopped and asked us where we were going. We told him and he explained to us his bus was not going there because it was the last bus and he was done with his route. We got off the bus farther away from where we started only to have to get on 2 more buses before getting home after 2 hours of riding on buses! It had taken us only 10 minutes to get there from our house! It was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous! Click on the map to get a full closeup view. The good thing about this: although I´m sure everyone we encounter in Spain thinks we are complete idiots, we cannot understand the things they are saying about us in Spanish!

Auntie,
You are sooo silly cause you were lost. Thank you for all those picutes they are so neat, and Brooke Loves them.
Brooke got a burn, aunt Stacey came and tried to help. But daddy came with the special stuff (Aloe plant) to make it better and that helped.
Auntie I miss you so much....when are you coming back.
Love Madison
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! This is SOOOO funny!!! I can totally see myself doing something like this!! I am glad that everything turned out ok, but I am also glad you have a funny story to tell :)
There's always something with you two! All the more reason to keep taking the spanish lessons! That map by the way, is a nightmare. Is it the same one from before when you guys were trying to figure out where you were living? Too funny...he he he
