... that I did have appendicitis (I'm glad they did this a week after doing surgery for it). The doctor basically said that my recovery was going well. The only minor problem was a mild allergic reaction to the latex in the badages, but that was resolved with a new brand.<br><br>Thursday night, I went over to the apartment of one of the girls in the program (Callie from Texas), where we had a dinner with other people from school. One would think that ...

... looking stained glass and some art. I'm not sure about that. I then stayed for mass. I didn't stay through the whole thing because I was getting antsy and I couldn't understand what was going on anyway, but I did stay through the homily. The main priest was a cardinal I think (or a bishop?). I don't know but he had a little red cap on, but then put on one of the big cool hats. There was about 20 priests up at the altar. After I left, I ...

... and spoke with them about the city, the culture, and their lives. At about 3:00 AM we were kicked out for last call, but the Spanish boys promised to take us to a discotech. After trying at a few places, we decided to head home, so I walked Marni back to the Residencias and had the brilliant idea of walking home... alone. I made it about 1 km before hailing a cab and learned a very important lesson, Madrid is a very big city. While the city is probably safer than most American cities ...

... que va en otro post, ya que los pongo por ciudades, y el último día en Madrid fui al Caixa Forum a ver una expo increíble de Mucha, que me enamoré. Impresionante, toda su obra, originales de las serigrafías, bocetos en lápiz, oleos, acuarelas, fotos, de todo. Y ya después de recorrer sin rumbo, me despedí de Madrid hasta el 7 de septiembre que paso a la vuelta antes de subirme finalmente al avión que me devuelva a Bs As.

... difficulty at the Madrid train station as we were trying to get to Granada. The lady at the ticket booth started making a clicking noise at us and told us, "no, no, no." This was to tell us that we would not be able to get a train to Granada. Needless to say we left her booth and found tickets on the high speed train and we were able to make it to Granada.

... otras personas. Las filas<br>se dividían entre "ciudadanos de la comunidad", "americanos" y<br>"porquerías (perdón 'resto del mundo')". Delante mio habían dos chicos<br>peruanos, un poco nerviosos y con una carpeta repleta de papeles y<br>documentos, incluyendo la respectiva carta de invitación (que todo<br>viajero a la comunidad sabe la cantidad de normas y papales que hay que<br>llevar consigo a la hora de enfrentar con la frente en alto el control<br ...

... appearance more often than Imelda Marcos. Most of the shops have huge rollerdoors down the front, so when one set of shops closes and another opens on a street, you'd never recognise that it was the same street. We thought that the room we booked was superbly located, close to the heart of the city. One thing we hadn't counted on was that the central location meant that it was perfect for hearing the all-night traffic jam outside our window. grrrr ...

... my opinion. There was a water jet right in the middle shooting water up about 10 meters high, sprinkling the trees that sprouted from the water. I sat on a marble staircase leading straight into the water and watched the scenery as Ed and Sophie walked around taking pictures. I was thrilled to find that from time to time a little turtle head popped up from the water. It was filled with turtles, small and big! People were ...

... heating when it gets cold. Those players are soo spoiled hahaha. Afterwards, we walked through the players tunnel into the change rooms. Finally we walked through the room where all the trophies are. I took soo many pictures. Knowing im in the place where Zadane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo, Carlos walk all the time was really cool for me. So that was pretty much all of Madrid. We only had one day but we did the most we could. To be honest i have no clue ...
