fiesta en madrid

it has been a few days since we last wrote, and that's just out of pure laziness. right now it is 4:10 in the afternoon on sunday, and blair and i are sitting in our sala watching One Fine Day, dubbed in spanish of of course. this type of lazy sunday appears to be the norm after a weekend of some serious partying. fiesta here in madrid is most definitely a way of life. thursday night blair and i went out with one of our american friends and her spanish friend who knows everyone in madrid. we stayed out until 730 in the morning, ending the night, or rather beginning the day with the traditional churros y chocolate. this of course took a toll on us friday when we could not physically do anything but sit/sleep/eat. of course, that only prepared us to go out on saturday night, last night, where we first went to a really cool underground bar that only serves sangria and then to kapital, one of the largest discotecas in madrid, 7 floors. to be honest, i'm not sure if that was my scene, but it was most definitely an experience. once again we did not arrive back home until 6 am. so today we are taking it easy once again. this whole fiesta thing takes a toll on the body, but hey, when in rome!
