summary of our first day in madrid

in a nutshell...prostitutes, discovering we are in the middle of the red light district, eating an amazing meal of paella, more prostitutes, shopping at H&M, prostitutes, meeting some people from BYU, prostitutes, chatting with the boy from BYU (who wants to become a dentist, natch), prostitutes, getting a coke from mcdonalds, watching a street fight and some more prositutes. can you see a pattern here? now i understand why this hostel got such good reviews! actually, we are in a really cool part of town that just happens to be part of the red light district...our hostel is really cool and our balcony makes for good prostitute watching. we did meet some people from BYU last night who are staying in our hostel-rheanna and aimee think it´s fate that me and the boy from BYU are supposed to be together so they keep trying to find ways to meet up with him again...he offered to show me where the supermarket was last night-i guess that means it´s love. too bad his sister came in and threw off his game. oh well.
today it´s off to the Museo de Prado and then we are going to a bar tonight to catch a flamenco performance. pretty sweet stuff.
there will probably be some more prostitute watching today as well.

peace out!

Well, well, well!!! Naked men, prostitutes... what was I thinking when I said it would be a good idea to roam through Europe? I hope you're at least shielding Geronignome from all this worldly flesh.
The flamenco performance sounds very intriguing. Definately a Spanish thing to see -- well done!
So, what are the odds of meeting zoobie boy out in the big bad world? Just when you, yourself, plan on returning to the bubble? Sounds like fate to me. And a dentist! Quite generally, I like it!
Keep yourself out of the fray of fistfights and prostitutes and naked men, darling. That's a lot of drama!
Love, love, love you!
