... to see the two other bulls get killed. Rebeca went out into the back of the stadium while Wiz and I watched until the bull got stabbed by the sword again because we didn't want to see it die.

We took the metro back to the hostel. Wiz took a nap, Rebeca showered, and I internetted. Then we went out for dinner at around 10pm. We went to the place down the street. I got Tinto de Verano (a light wine drink) and meat canneloni. They ...

... room to the lounge area escorting hungry clientele. Empty tables fill up. Seated near the kitchen, I watch the kitchen doors swing open as large, black, flat cast-iron pans carrying paella are brought to tables for approval and then laid down at a small corner table across from us.

... i end up watchin a lot of starlet news a la entertainment tonight. I´ve seen press microphones being shoved through closing doors, people chasing stars back into their cars, camera man almost hit by a car which another camera man filmed, and lots and lots of vulgarity which i particularly enjoy.

He can wait till I know the city that way the supposed tour of the city will be what he really intends...a date. I´m not stupid just a blond gringa. Yesturday we went for a small tour and lesson (joke) of the metro. One minute I thought to myself...I´m completely screwed...destined to forever be ...

It sticks to a spoon, your teeth when you smile, and can be dangerous if you try to taste it when they first bring it out because it´s quite warm. An experience not to be missed.
