Best Host Mom Award

Friday night was my first night out in Madrid and it was interesting. We were all hanging out at Yvette's house, where some of the people in my group may have had a few too many bottles of wine. So from there we headed out to meet the rest of the people we were going with at a bar downtown. Well, we got to the bar and no sooner did we get there one of the girls decided that she was too drunk and needed to go home. So I volunteered to take her home. However, by the time we got a taxi, she didn't know where she lives (nor did I). So she ended up coming back to my apartment. It was quite the experience and somehow I always get stuck babysitting. But at 3 am when my host mom woke up and I explained everything that had went on, she was totally ok with everything. In the morning even drove this girl back to her own house and gave her a different pair of shoes (not 6 inch heels) to wear. My two best friends here have decided they want to meet my host mom after this lovely experience. I have to say, she is amazing and so understanding and I'm very glad I'm living with this family even though sometimes it can get hard having so many people in one space.
