Summer Adventures in Spain: Which bus?

Hoy era un poquito horrible. (Today was a little bit horrible.) So maybe horrible seems like an overstatement now, but this afternoon it felt justified. So I decided to take the bus to school today so I could see more of the city. I understand metro systems better, but all you see in the metro is concrete. So mi madre me dijo (told me) how to get there using the buses. Well, add heat, a little confusion, foreign city/country, lots of bus stops and you get ... The American girl lost in Madrid on the wrong side of the city. However, I was quite proud of myself as I was able to figure it out and get to school. The downside, I didn't get to eat lunch and had to snack on some bread and grapes right before class and it took me 2 1/2 hours to get to school instead of 1/2 of an hour. May sound like the scenic route, but when it's 103 outside, it just sucks. So now I'm sitting here thinking I should study, but I want to sleep. Speaking of studying, I didn't get my extra study time to finish my homework (because I was PERDIDA (lost)) and I was so confused in my class because of it. Random note: I've managed to drink over 70 oz of water today and am still thirsty. Wow, now I'm rambling. Anyway, I keep forgetting to take pictures of my dinner, but today I REMEMBERED! :) So I have pictures to share with you. I want to share more pictures, but to be honest, by the time I get all my school things in my bag there is no room for a camera and I don't want to be touristy on my way to school. This weekend, however, I have two day trips to nearby cities and I should get some pictures then. Thanks for following. It's fun to share my adventures. Please ignore the shadows as I was in a hurry. If you remember, I didn't get my lunch and by 8:00pm I was hungry.

Gazpacho (cold tomato soup) This is the first time I've ever tried this and I was so excited. It's very interesting. Cold, lots of garlic and onion.

Rollitos de verduras (Vegetable rolls - they were served with the red sauce in the jar. Very similar to egg rolls with vegetables and sweet and sour sauce.)
