Spain Trip Day Five − 21 September, 2007

(The following are transcripts of the Moleskine I kept on our trip to Spain)

9:45am (Madrid)
-woke up after a weird dream about Aunty and opening a restaurant or school in Spain
-showered, got dressed and checked out
-went to Pans for desayuna again, got my zuma de naranja and chocolate muffin
-walked from Pans to Atocha
-noticed all kinds of stuff we didn't see before
-get in Atocha and it took all of 5 seconds to get through security and into the boarding lunge
-2 hours until train leaves
-while waiting for train I learned that Rosa Negra is a childrens store and we learned that stretching and yawning in public is rude
-also an old woman just walked in front of me and farted (SBD) and then walked back to where she was standing, she looked disgusted with herself, rightfully so, it smelled like cabbage and corpse
-we got on the train no problem
-every once in awhile someone walks by and it smells like B.O.
-next entry will be in Barcelona

10:30pm (Barcelona)
-got off the train and neither of us were impressed, Barcelona Sants is in a slum which only get slightly better as you get closer to our hotel
-our hotel looks nice from the outside but we soon found out we were relegated to a room on the back of the building, which faces apartments, also there is only one bed, the tv is tiny and the remote is behind the desk
-we were not happy
-went to Montjuic Park, got lost around back, snuck into the Olympic park, went back to the art museum then went to see the pavillion and get food
-as we were eating it was getting dark, and then the redeeming moment, la Font Magicka turned on and everything was ok
-we walked around the fountains and then came back to the hotel
-we stopped in at a Catalan pizza place next door ordered a xorizo i formatge pizza to go
-came back to hotel, ate and relaxed
