So far we hate the train station staff! I think they are out to get us...because everyone of them tell us a different story and take our money!!! We found out that our Eurail Pass (that costs us an arm and a leg) doesn't pay for some of our trips! And, because the Paris trains were totally sold out for three days...we are no longer going to Paris! But we are driving through France to keep the rest of our trip the same! We just got off the train in Barcelona and it's raining but we are so excited to be here!
Last night we were completely jet-lagged and totally frustrated so we all crashed around 8pm! Our hotel was amazing and we even had our own showers!! We realize that we have spoiled ourselves already...b/c the Barcelona Hostel IS NOT like that but it's all about experiences, right?!?! Since we went to bed at 8pm...Laurie, Jen and Kelley were wide awake at 4:00AM...while the rest of Madrid was still dancing, drinking and partying in the streets! So they left Christine and Katie (who drugged herself to sleep!) and we went to Retiro Park, walked around and watched the sun rise! It was awesome to be starting our day at the same time the Spaniards were heading home from partying!! We are soooo out of whack with time zones!
Well, we are off to explore Barcelona! Love you all!

It sounds like you are all having a great time; I'm excited to watch your pics as you travel about--I was with Laurie on her first European tour, and I'm glad to know you all had your own shower--we had a crazy bathroom in Paris but then again that seems like forever ago! Be safe & happy traveling--I'll be praying and checking on you!

A very similiar thing happened to me at the train station and the EuroRail pass. It sounds like you´re taking it in stride, though. Just remember that bumps along the way sometimes make the trip even better! I´ve had some great adventures and wonderful surprises when I had to detour off travel plans I´d made. (BTW, great blog! I love following your adventures. :-) Nicole
