Livin': Madrid

Not too much going on this week. I've been going to class (I know there's a reason why I'm here...) and exploring the ever expanding city. This weekend will be a local exploration event. I'm planning on going to the Renia Sophia to see the Guernica and eating lots of tapas.

Madrid is supposed to have something around "300 cloudless days." However, that leaves 65 cloudy, rainy, cool days of the year. Well, there are only about 59 left for this year. My bright, flowery summer dresses lay folded (in piles) and forgotten in my closet (on my floor), and I have had to buy a couple of sweaters (it was torture). The sidewalks have doubled in size, as the normal sprawling tables and chairs filled with chattering maderilanos (do theses people ever go to work?) have been piled up and the bars and cafes are overflowing with people and smoke.

Hopefully my last week will be filled with sunshine and flowers and carefree frolics through the parque retiro.
