August 12: First day in Madrid part 2

So today we were off tourisming from noon till 10 p.m. These pics will give the gist of what we did; it is now after three a.m. and tomorrow morning we are leaving for the town that the wedding is going to be in on Sunday. The groom-to-be´s family owns a motel there so we will have free acccomodation apparently. I don´t know when I´ll next have access to the internet, right now Tom and I are in Pszychemek´s room and it has a computer in it which I´m allowed to use. But for the next few days we will be elsewhere and tomorrow we are also planning on going to Portugal. So I will post again when I can.

Krista and Magda (Tom´s cousin´s cousin´s daughter) by the palms in the train station.... we are standing in front of a pool that had a lot of turtles in it. Madga took a shine to me because I am Canadian and we traded English and Polish words all the way to Madrid and sporadically throughout the day. When her dad was off with his girlfriend, she´d hold my hand. It was really cute.

Two more pics in front of the little post office.

Tom being very bad and having a cigarette during lunch. They had pickled seafood, including purple stuff with tentacles, and I had meatballs.

One more beer, or so I thought, before heading back to the apartment.
Beer and salted peanuts, and a group shot: From left to right Anya, Robert, Magda, Pzychemek, Marik, Gosha, Damien (and the back of my head at the front).

Me and Tom enjoying (and gagging down) a beer.
