Vwalah! we are back in Madrid, just like that. We are staying at a new hostel here, Way hostel, and we´ve ran into two people from Lisbon. Is it just me, or is Europe smaller than it looks on a map?
I could not post pictures in Paris, due to the fact that internet cafes are pricy, but we saw everything there was to see. We proved some rumors to be false as well:
Parisians are not at all rude to English speakers. In fact, they are always pleasantly surprised to hear a parlay voo ingles?
And you don´t really have to pay for toilettes. This learned fact proved to be true with copious amounts of relief.
I will post all of the pictures Tuesday, when I return to America.
We also did some funny/fancy things in Paris that were a bit out of the ordinary. We stumbled across a bar that served juice and cocktails in baby bottles. It´s all kind of ridiculous, because they make you draw out your beverage, and they have cartoon names for everything. The place was called Zero de conduite, and we played board games while suckin´on baby bottles. Oh what a city. I guess it´s trendy to regress a decade!
But ohh, it feels nice to be back in Madrid. We connected with Wall street Nick last night, who is now starting up a business that is sort of top secret so I can´t put the URL up, but when it is full throttle you bet I´ll promote it. This business apparently involves 20 minute conference calls that turn into 2 hour conference calls when we´re waiting on him. Nick, for a business man, you surely have bad timing. Though, I´m surprised how much he´s got going for him here in Madrid now that we´ve returned. He´s in meetup groups, gone on a few dates, and has this business. If I wanted to work for wallstreet, I´ve acquired the appropriate connectionis. Ew, business.
So, we met up with Nick last night and went to one of our favorite Tapas places, El Tigre, and enjoyed some of our last munchin´ food of Madrid. Nik was teaching us that Notorious BIG´s TEN CRACK COMMANDMENTS apply to the business world. I won´t go into details, but I think he should do a thesis. Hmmm?
Now, I am fully ready to return. I will enjoy this last day in Madrid and go to the Retiro. I will probably see Nik for the last time, and I will walk the paths I did when I first wrote in this blog. Anything I decide to do, I will in fact do so by seizing it and enjoying it in the best way possible.
You can still expect more from this blog. On Tuesday I will be posting all of the pictures and explaining them. But thanks for reading! It has been nice to document this hoping someone will be inspired to take a trip of their own, because it is something that should not be avoided.
Adios! and as a true Madrid Spaniard would say: Vale! Vale! Vale!
