Well, I´m back on the road again and I managed to not return to south east asia. I had a lot of hassles yesterday which I´ll minimize here so as not to sound to negative. First off - if you have a washington mutual ATM card GET A NEW ONE BEFORE YOU COME TO SPAIN!!!!! Otherwise you might have a painful couple of days waithing for your new one as I am. Luckily I have another bank account to hold me for the time being. Oh, and the hotel had not received our resevation, but it worked out.
But on to Madrid. It´s nice I guess, pretty, safe, lots of ham, and the city dosen´t wake up till 10pm. I´m once again travelling with Ariel - her first coments on the city were "Isn´t it nice to not be accosted by touts every five seconds. No one´s bothering us at all." And that´s just the problem for me - I´d gotten used to it, actually looked forward to it. It´s just too tame for me so far. We´re headed to Barcelona next to hang with a friend of Ariel´s, but I´m thinking of skipping Granada in the south to get to Morocco faster. But I´m not talking about Madrid - I don´t really know what to say. Lots of old buildings, museums, the usual Euro capital fare, except they stay up all night and eat a lot of ham. A relatively low level of prostitutes, at least in the areas I´ve been to. (Which is quite a bit since I tried about 30 different atms at various banks)
