Life in Madrid

There are number of things that in my ramblings I have forgotten to mention.

The first is that the bathroom situation is a little questionable. Older apartments only have one bathroom. I live in an older apartment, therefore I am sharing the bathroom with my SeƱora (Elvira). So far it's been interesting. Particularly so, considering there happens to be a window in the bathroom door. Although it is more opaque than not, the window gives the occasional passerby quite a glimpse. I still find myself looking at the window, expecting to see Elvira standing there watching me.

On another note, today was my first real day to go and explore Madrid. I woke up relatively early and met a few friends at the Museo de la Reina Sofia. We saw Picasso's Guernica and The Woman in Blue. They were quite interesting. I believe we spent something like 3 hours in the museum and there are still to more floors yet to be explored. And the best news of all, I've finally found an oasis of souvenirs where I can use my American Express!
