my darlings.
my dears.
i'm sorry for being so crap at updating.
things have been crazy. i've had one of those weeks.
you know the ones.. where you feel like you've been asleep and things have happened and you haven't had time to sit or think or clean or organize and your clothes and books are everywhere and you have a list of stuff to do that doesn't get done.
that's the kind of week i've had.
so, let us backtrack.
go back, back in our minds to.. MADRID.
saturday morning, bright & early in sol, the center of the city.
my travel partners.
caitlin. justin. jenny.
exploring huertas.
guernica. on the street.
tapas. tapas. all the time.
our reactions to the attack of the spanish novios (boyfriends) at the cavebar.
el rastro.
europe's largest flea market.
el parque del ratiro.
picnic.
jamon. queso. pan. and cookies.
sunset.
much love en españa.
it was a beautiful weekend. so so wonderful to be with familiar faces in a decidedly unfamiliar city. spanglish is one of my new favorite hobbies. todo el tiempo. jenny was a lovely hostess, albiet a bit directionally challenged. i got to see 'guernica' (the real one), taste tapas of all shapes and sizes, experience the menu del día, and survive a dark, busy & loud madrid night.
and it was so warm!
way to go spain. you know how to do weather.
i didn't sleep sunday night. we were out eating and drinking until 4am, when i caught a cab to the airport. after being sassed by the ryanair clerk regarding the size of my hand luggage, i uncomfortably dozed in half a dozen different positions on the way back to londres. safe and sound and showered, i was able to make it through the rest of the day without passing out from exhaustion.
i have a ridiculous life.
& it just keeps on going.
