... qu'on a marche jusqu'a Santiago. Je vais probablement essayer d'aller encore dans un resto ce soir, question de manger a ma faim. Je vous tiendrai au courant demain s'il se passe quelque chose d'excitant en soiree. En terminant, voici quelques constats (qui n'ont pas vraiment rapport avec le reste); - C'est incroyable le nombre d'Audi qu'il y a ici. Meme dans les petits villages, on en retrouve. On m'a dit que les Audi 4 etait le meme ...

... on little to no sleep. It's so hard to stay awake in class on such little sleep, especially when there aren't enough plugs in the room to allow me to browse the internet when I get bored like in the states. But...I did it! I just spent the entire day waiting for siesta...that never came, once again! As soon as class was over, we decided that it was time to put our plan into action and head to the bus station to get tickets to Barcelona for the weekend ...

... to do with math... Then we went to the basillica (all the same building) which was really neat! It was huge and has 5 massive organs! (I mean MASSIVE) It also has this huge dome and lots of cool sculptures and oil paintings. The tour guide said you can get married there for about 1 thousand dollars if you are catholic, but the waiting list is like 2 years or something. That would be one crazy wedding. Then we went up to the library and saw the ...

... as well have been sitting in my office in Atlanta. Now, this part will probably be boring to you non-Coke people - but please allow me to discuss work a little - I think the Coke people on my friend list may find it interesting.....Everything from the acronyms, the wireless internet connection that immediately logs you on to the Company intranet, the subsidized cafeteria, gym in the office, etc...was exactly the same. I ...

... medieval walls. City planners were charged with expanding the city and connecting it with outlying suburbs. The walls around the city were demolished and the Eixample was built in grid format with all the corners of the building being cut off at each intersection. Thereby increasing the size of the sidewalks and allowing cars to turn through these intersections at a faster rate. Rick Steves ...

... with joggers and families and a great break from the chaos of the city. The park is designed with well manicured gardens and statues. It was 11pm when we finally decided to head out again which was fine in Madrid, we headed for Plaza de Santa Ana which was full of diners and some awesome street performers, who would have thought of eating dinner at 11pm. The Plaza was full of people, the place was pumping. The hotel was in a very ...

... the group out tonight, so I'm hoping to get into some good Tapas and other typically Spanish dishes. Just one really good meal, to convince me that Madrid's reputation for good food is truly warranted! One of our colleagues is vegetarian. I feel bad for him, Madrid is not a city for non-carnivores. On top of that, he doesn't speak any Spanish, and mine being fairly limited, I'm not always able to find him decent ...

... that was lucky. But I made it. The people at the hotel are ok. Just put my bag in coz the room isn´t ready yet. I´m sharing a room with a Japanese girl - I´ll give her **** about the soccer! There´s a couple of Australians, & some American´s too. We all meet up tonight at 7.30 to meet, greet & get it all under way. I don´t really feel out of place even though I have no idea what anyone is saying! And there are a lot of beggers on ...

... lovely apartment and having a coffee, we went to our respective laptops to work. And that's where I am right now. I took a few breaks and watched the people in the courtyard talking, playing and living a typical day. The boys kicked ball around and a little girl pushed a doll stroller while wearing oversized pink high heels. A man was trying to train his puppy to come while some women smoked while engaged in deep ...

... our evening was a 22-year-old "explosive athelete" (according to his own movie coming out late next year) called David Fandila or "El Fandi" to his mates. Anyway, back to the fight. The matador spends an eternity enticing the bull with his cape. Only the matador has a red cape - the others are relegated to pink. Not that the bull cares - bulls are colour blind. Nonetheless, aiming for the shimmering cape seems to be so ingrained in the bull's instinct that the matadors make it ...
