Deus is in the house


Our roommates came home in the early morning, as usual I am very sensitive to sound so I woke up. But after some minutes I fell asleep again. At around noon we started our day, breakfast in a small park with local people. Some alcoholics, some kids free from school, dogs running around. We have come to the conclusion that children and dogs have a better life in this country, or at least in the parts of town we have visited.

While Lisa did some studying I sat down and listend to the conversation of some girls : politics, clothes, boys and make-up!

After that we walked a little more and ended up in another plaza where we decided to crash. A pretty meeting between generations. Music in my ears while Lisa enjoyed sun-bathing, I will most probably live of this hours of sun for quite some time.

Then we needed coffee, tapas and backgammon. I started my climb back to the top and I am confident that I can break this spell of bad luck.

Some more walking around, looking at people and things, smiling when we notice the same things ( a common practice ).

Now back at the hostel we both decided that a shower is not a requirement for good life and so we saved Madrid some gallons of water. So instead we are hanging in the lobby ( filled with people ). The plans for tonight is more walks, more food and lots of beer. The town i buzzing so it won't be hard to have a good time. Maybe back to the jazz club?! who knows.

Today has been about people, faces and places. Walking slowly, studying everything, sucking the blood of what we can. A lot of sweds in town today, but we ignore them as they ignore us.

Every where we get reminded that Spain is a catholic country and that god is in the house.
