hello!

today's weather in madrid: high 63 and sunny! today we walked around with cassidy's friend molly who's in madrid for a couple of days before going down to Granada to study for the semester. we walked to sol, and then to Plaza Mayor. here's a pic of mayor...





we sat in the sun for about 2 hours and listened to this attractive young spanish guitarist play for a crowd of onlookers. (most of whom were doing the same as we were.) he played oldies like "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" from the Beatles, "With Or Without You" by U2, and some good stuff from mexicans like Mana. it was magical. (to me, everything that occurs in the springtime and summertime is magical, and today's weather was close enough to bring that feeling.)

i'm moved in with Cassidy now. it's lovely! i love my roomies and no longer wake up to a high pitched, angry woman's voice who's spanish speeds up to 80 miles a minute when she's yelling at her daughter. don't get me wrong, she was great, but there are better ways to rise and "shine".

i love spain!

and italians steal my heart on a daily basis. is that ok?

too much spanish tortilla= "oh i don't feel so good"....
see mom, i AM learning things here!

we still have two christmas trees up. i'm ok with that.

i love cafe, and i found out that my new landlord (our friend Dawn who lives here) has this little contraption that spins really fast and foams the milk. home-made lattes!

contrary to the general idea that (as i've heard) europeans have, i believe we CAN help people in africa. it may be naive, but everyone needs a chance.

neo-nazi florist!! lol oh man cassidy's parents are hilarious. but no cassidy isn't dating the son of a neo-nazi florist.

and Marta, just so you know, your blog is the highlight of everyday of my life. i read it EVERY single day. thanks for being so creative. and keeping us up-to-date on what you're finding in life. (marta's blog is just there, to the right.)

believe it or not, i have a lot more opinions and things i could say on my blog, but, this is what i'm writing about. :)

happy sabbath erbody.
