Poppin' (anti)Acid
OOOO man I can get used to the life I'm living over here right now. At the moment we aren't in classes yet and my teaching doesn't start for a little while longer so right now I've been taking things niiiccceee aaaannnndddd sslllooowwww :) Today we slept in super late. Like 2 in the afternoon late. A-MAZ-ING. Since my stomach isn't of the strongest sorts the food here isn't treating me as well as I would like but it's too good to say no to it. So my life has become a game of kill the heart burn before it kills me. When I wake up, I pop an antacid. After lunch, an antacid...and so on. So, after we got up I made some lunch (and popped an antacid) and enjoyed the barely there breeze from our nice big windows. After that we went to the locutorio up the street (where we use the internet) to try to stay as connected as I can and get some work down on the PC. After that we came home and napped, naturally. Since we woke up late we figured it would be in our best interests to stay as well rested as possible. After we all woke up we walked to a part of Madrid called Chueca and there I fell in love. With tapas :) Chueca is right next to Sol and Plaza Mayor and all the amazing art museums and has quickly become my favorite place to walk around in. We went to a tapas bar called El Tigre and it was the greatest little place I have been to yet. If you come to visit me, have no worries; you WILL be seeing this place! After we finished our perfect little tapas I popped another antacid and we were on our way to a sangria bar that was in what looked like a wine cellar underground and had great live music. We enjoyed our sangria and went to a few more bars. Since there were four girls and one guy in our party we were ushered into a few places for a few free shots (seriously, Mardid just gets better and better) and Kristina and Michael and myself called int quitsies for the night. Christina and Callie wanted to stay out so we parted ways, walked home, I popped my last antacid for the evening and said "buenos noches" to el mundo(the world).
