Mad!

So I really have nothing to tell you about the city of Madrid! The last time I updated the blog I had just checked into the MAD hostel. The best part about it was the fact that it was very lively and I had the opportunity to meet great people.

I ended up meeting 2 really great girls right at the start with whom I spent lots of time hanging out and talking with. There have also been a couple kewl guys who we hung out with as well. The conversations with people from other countries about their way of life, careers, studies, politics etc. has been very interesting for me. I realize how lucky I am to have my life in Canada and all the opportunities that I have been given from my past and my future.

That has been the extent of my time here. I didnt go out and see the monuments, museums and parks. Even at 11 pm in a tank top and shorts I am sweating so the weather has played a part in my lack of desire to venture out. It has been a long time since I could just lounge around and ponder life with my friends, so I just made new friends and have really enjoyed my time here.

Today it is 38 degrees. There is no water around Madrid and no wind! The low is 21. I will head to the airport tonight on the metro. It turns out that the airport is open 24 hours so I will probably lock up all my big and important stuff and then go find a place to sleep outside.

Expect an update from my summer home in the much cooler Santander soon! Perhaps I will have more to say!

Oh ya, one more thing. Last night Patricia and I hopped on the metro to go to the bus station, so that she could buy her ticket to Barcelona for sunday. I was just thinking about how tame my experience had been in Madrid. We were sitting next to and facing each other on the metro, when the train slowly started to take off from the station. I had thought that one of the young guys had his arm up against the window while he was running to try to open the door... but when I looked twice, he was mooning us with his ass pressed right up to the glass!!! hahahaha. As the train took off, his skin was sticking to the window so he had to do progressively faster side shuffles to keep up with the train before jumping forwards. It was soo funny to see the reactions. The funniest part was Patricias face. In our train car in that section it was us and 2 other young girls who were sitting by themselves. Hahahaha. It was entertaining. The guys thought it was pretty hilarious. He had white skin and blondish hair so I would imagine he was a tourist as well. That is about the only funny interesting thing to happen besides the kewl friends I made and all our conversations!
