Our first house guest :)

Woke up late as usual.  Seriously, can you say "living the dream"??? When I woke up our first house guest of the year had arrived.  Michael and Kristina have a friend that just moved back over to Madrid and is looking for an apartment so she's going to be living with us for a few days.  It's great because we have that extra bedroom so we have plenty of space.  It looked like it was going to rain today and I'm surprisingly a little exhausted from going around and exploring so I decided to do a little TV streaming to my computer.  I caught up on this season of Weeds and started a new series called Californication.  Unfortunately it's fantastic and I watched about 5 episodes in a row.  wwhoooopsies.  There went our day.  So for dinner we went to a local tapas place and it was soooo good.  Beer and food for cheap.  Cant beat that.  If you're really hungry I suggest going to a place that serves more than just tapas becuase the portions are super small (compared to portions in america at least!) but the tapas were really good.  As we were sitting down eating I was looking around and realizing that I didn't see a single non-alcoholic beverage on any of the tables around us.   Even though I would never automatically count this as a bad thing, it got me thinking quite a bit.  People around here walk EVERYWHERE.  They drink beer and wine all day and night and i as far as I have seen, I am the only one in about a 2 mile radius that has a water bottle.  The people of Madrid have to be so incredibly dehydrated.  To top it off there haven't been any water fountains in sight and there are no public bathrooms.  I guess when the only liquid entering your body goes thru your kidneys and liver first instead of your baldder, the chances of having to go to the bathroom while you are not at your house go down pretty significantly.  Crazy Spain.
