Lowlights

• Struggling to understand Spanish with the Spanish accent. It really took me almost the whole trip to get it.
• Driving in Madrid. Wow! It was a whole new world for me. I only got honked at 5 times or so. Those giant round abouts are quite tricky
• It was so hot!
• The effects of Jet Lag
