YA NO PUEDE CAMINARRRRR!!!
Our house is about a good 15 minute walk (if you have long legs, a fast gait, and time the intersections well) to get to my school. Mind you I am only 5´4" and don´t yet dare to walk through the intersections because I don´t want to die. Anyway, since I´ve been here, I would say that pretty much every day I have walked to my school and my bank´s branch, which are pretty much right next to each other, and on top of that have been walkng around the whole damn neighborhood to figure out where the best place is to buy X,Y, and Z. Then of course I want to be a tourist and walk to see some interesting things. Sigh - my feetsies are tired.
Last Wednesday I was walking this same route and I saw a few fighter and bomber planes flying above, preparing for an airshow this weekend. This weekend is somewhat similar to our fleet week I guess although Madrid is landlocked so I´m still trying to figure that part out. Anyway, Friday is a national holiday because it celebrates "Hispanic Day". So my first holiday in Spain is all about Spain discovering America. Manuel was surprised to hear from a Norwegian coworker that somehow they found America first. But of course he finally decided that it wasn´t
really that important since they didn´t do anything worthy at the time. I have to admit that he has a good point there.
