I was all packed up. I took a photo with my mom because she commented on my haircut. I had just gotten a haircut. It was one of the last things I did Here and Wisconsin. So I can have my stuff And walked I half a block down to the bus stop and out about 12:09 Pm The city bus came and picked me up and I had a Downtown. First the bus stops at the south transfer point. Then I transferred to the 4 bus and was dropped off near the Gordon Commons. And There I boarded the van Galder bus to O’Hare. That went Without a hitch except I thought I was going to the international Terminal. Then I noticed on the way that I actually was going to terminal three. I received a notice from American Airlines.
That’s where the trouble started. I was waiting there for hours and the plane did not show up. Turns out they had to do some extra maintenance stuff to the plane so we got off to a late start. We are supposed to get to Heathrow two hours before My flight to Madrid. So the delay would be cutting into that.
So we finally got the Heathrow and the funniest thing happened. Instead of parking at a gate they park the plane away from the gate. Then there was a bunch of buses That came and picked us up. That took much longer than I expected. Then when I get inside the term I found out That I Missed something in my bag got sent for further inspection. But that didn’t take too long. Then I had to find my plan. I went to the spot where gate 10 is supposed to be and I found out there is no Gate 10. It went right from gate nine to gate 11. Then I saw some who Work at the airport and he Lucked on the list of departures and figured it out
So I went to gate 7 and everyone had already boarded. I said I needed to get on that plane. They asked me if I was on the Chicago plane and I said yes. They took me aboard, whew. The plane waited a few more minutes then took off
When I got to Madrid I was walking around the airport trying to find a bathroom. It was getting to the point where I needed it really bad, so I finally found someone to ask. He said you go down this hallway then take the third Hallway on the left. No wonder I couldnt find the bathroom.
After that I found the express bus to Atocha, went to Decathlon to buy some hiking poles, then found my hostel for the night. After that I went to the train station and got my ticket printed off go the next morning, then I went to the Museum of Queen Sofia to see Picasso’s Guernica painting. That’s a very moving piece of art.
That’s all for now. It should be noted that I am having trouble adding photos to this blog and my phone is having trouble getting data so I have to use the Wi-Fi where I am staying
