España - Viernes, Dia 1

Hola mis amigos. I appreciate ian throwing my latest email up on the site for devoted readers. I promise to elaborate on our 3 week adventure in this crazy country over the next few weeks. My goal is to dictate this entire process but that is unlikely to happen. But to start off in true lazy american fashion, I will refer you all to TheVaughan blog. He is a step ahead of me and has already posted dia 1. Here are a few thoughts anyways:

First, the mostly willingly participates in no particular order (but I´m first clearly):

Areyoujelen, TheVaughan, Teo, Xtina, Midget, AnnoyingAsianGirl, DHo

Today´s crazy spanish keyboard symbol: ç

The day was probably the worst day of travel ever. 8 hour plane ride, then we waved our train to BCN goodbye, and then had a rather unpleasant 8 hour bus ride. Upon arrival, Xtina and I walked to the office of the apt people to discover it was a closed news stand. Things seemed very fishy but eventually we made contact and got our apt. Xtina is determined that I acted like a sissy down the dark, damp, creepy alley of the so called office. Wouldn´t you be scared in a foreign place surrounded by people that were not bothering us at all and appeared to pose no real threat? If not, you´re a liar.

The one saving grace was the now infamous Iberia Girl. She was the angelic figure that was on our flight, in our customs line, and we spotted at the Madrid Atocha train station. She was clearly following us. It might be a reach that she´s reading this right now, but I would like to say I love her and I miss her. Thank you for making the day a little more bearable.

Afterwards, all we needed was one drink to counter the 40 hours of being awake. We instead chose to consume about 20 apiece and act like 3 gentleman and a lady. Refer to TheVaughan´s blog for the rest of the details. I´m done with this day.
