España - Viernes, Dia 8

Today´s crazy spanish keyboard symbol: € (thanks to TheVaughan, I could finally type the euro symbol, damn keyboards)

We wake up to a new dia in Madrid. Solid looking city but a shit load of traffic. It probably doesn´t help that tourists are idiots and constantly walking where ever they want. I mean, we do it but thats acceptable. Look who you´re dealing with.

In true tourist fashion, we hit up El Museo Prado. Flippin sweet place with a ton of awesome art highlighted by Goya and Bosch´s Garden of Delights. Yes, I´m cultured. Bet you didn´t know that. You deal or you die. We appreciate everyone´s efforts but have some problems with some of the artists. TheVaughan dislikes the Boticelli works (not sure why, but he said he´d like to fight him) and we are both scared by the German artists there. Come on, why are you painting creepy old ladies without camisas. Not cool Germany.

Next is El Museo Reina Sofia. Again, flippin sweet with Picasso and Dali stealing the show. I´d like to buy these guys a drink for the good things they´ve done. No I´m not a fagitron but they´re probably a bunch of drunks and thats our kind of people.

After a few hours of walking and art watching, we take refuge at Churro Mania. Refer to the linked site. You all missed out, enough said.

Time for the evening. For a change we decide to go out drinking. As we follow the moto ¨stick with what works,¨we again go to O´Connells. We meet some ladies from the OC and Portand. Despite me telling them my bro lives in Portland and asking the other if she lives in Newport Beach (like the show, great line I used there) this does not get me laid. Weird. They leave after we buy them drinks, damn broads.

Somewhere in the night we meet a couple of spanish guys, Roberto y Miguel. We soon discover they are on a similar mission as us - they want to hook up with EEUU broads. We want Spanish broads. We try to help each other out. Despite our best efforts, we settle for working our magic with some Mexican broads. I have pretty much no idea what the yell they were saying as they speak faster than the spaniards we´ve met. No go with these ladies, they´re loss. TheVaughan and I are upset that its 7am and nothing is opened. We finally call it a night and stroll home at 8, our latest night yet. We definitely need some sleep for whats in store on Dia 9...
