Guadarrama: My Introduction to Spain
For our first weekend in Spain, we were sent on an orientation weekend trip to the mountainous town of Guadarrama where we learned what the rest of the semester would look like academically, as well as having time to make friends with our new classmates. The experience was amazing, and the sights of Guadarrama were spectacular, especially from our rooftop view! (Click Read More to see the photo larger)
Today is the day!
Today I fly out to Madrid and can't wait to begin this amazing new experience! I'll attempt to post here as often as I can, as well as on my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! Facebook and Insta will, for the most part, have similar content, with my Twitter being more text-based. I'll try to include bits and pieces from each on here as I post more. As you may have noticed, the top of every page is now a few of my recent Instagram posts. Thought this would be an easier way for people to quickly see new posts before I get the chance to add them here! Here are links to all my social media for those interested: https://www.instagram.com/matthewjcohen_/ https://twitter.com/matthewjcohen_/ https://www.facebook.com/matthew31cohen

Adventures at The National Zoo
Just recently I went to the National Zoo and took some pretty cool photos of some of the more social animals, as well as some of the very sleepy ones! I'm trying to fit in as many adventures at home that I can before I leave for school! Please comment any places you think I should visit in the NOVA/DC area before the summer is over.
