all in all
the flight was long and unevenful, i watched "the girl next door" and "cody banks" though i missed the end of cody, what happened?
neway the girl next door was this pron star next door type deal story so of course i got all sentimental and shit, though movies have a way of dragging me through the dirt.
the first thing you notice when you get out of the plane is that it is ohh about 115 degrees in madrid. i thought i was gonna be fried like an egg on the tarmac. my first night alone consisted of wandering around aimlessly and napping, i also discovered spain had enough gelato and sorbet to sustain me. plan eat gelato and sorbet everyday is in action. The food has been passable so far, though i ended up with a seafood dish to day i couldnt eat.
I wish there were something really exciting to talk about so far some crazy tales, but none yet. hopefully i will make some. spice this thing up a little. did some sight seeing today, went the the valley of the fallen, which is basicly this huge monestary chisseled out of the mountain, its construction was commisioned by franco, el generalismo, so slave labor, the republicans, the losers in the spanish civil war, were used in its construction. Though franco claimed they volunteered for it. We also went to some other monestary that was built in the 16th century, all the spanish kings are buried underneath the altar, i saw their little tombs... little creapy especially since you walk out of the tomb directly into a gift shop... seems a little in poor taste to me. tomorrow: the palacio real, which is the renisance period royal palace, and a couple of musuems the prado and this other huge dali and picasso musuem.
out.
