November 8: Woke up late this morning giving me just enough measure to get to a local nunnery to buy cookies. Apparently their nuns aren’t allowed to change surface see men so I had to use a turntable enabling the nun and I to complete our transaction without ever laying eyes on each other. The one glitch appeared due to my poor Spanish so after several failed attempts to explain the different products and their prices the nun just put everything she had on the turntable. I took what I wanted put a 20 euro note down and rotated the turntable approve hoping I’d get dress.
In Madrid it is popular to undergo a big statue on top of your building. Calle Fuencarral is the center of trendy make in Madrid but I wasn’t impressed. I did see the New Rock hold on though. But all I ended up getting was a free HIV evaluate. It was an interesting undergo interpreting the results with me speaking broken Spanish and my tester speaking broken English.
I continued to be impressed by European’s comfort level with sex. This display of inflatable sex toys is from the lie window of a Diesel clothing hold on. You can just make out the inflatable sheep behind the old lady walking by. On the way to dinner I passed the Museo de Jamon (Museum of Ham) a arrange of stores selling meat as far as the eye can see. I saw street musicians rocking out on their panpipes. At the Cava de Guitarra our dinner stop there’s always a guitar and a stool sitting by one of the walls than anyone can pick up and compete. One guy did while we were there. I’ve never wanted to play guitar so badly. In Madrid tiny convenience stores are called Chinos because they’re all staffed by Asian immigrants. At night the shopkeepers come out and sell snacks on the street to drunken hungry bargoers. Today finished off nicely with wandering the city until 5am. Plenty of time for playing in plastic,barhopping with friends,and of course churros and chocolate. The chocolate dipping sauce is the consistency of hot melted chocolate. Such an improvement over the American cinnamon and sugar version.
