Hooray! She's finally here! After we met up at the airport yesterday, we decided to take public transport back to my flat. As we maneuvered her bags through turnstiles, on and off escalators, on and off trains, etc., we were taken back to the Great Europe Trek of '04. Ahh, those were the days...sleeping on trains, eating gelato for dinner, taking an overnight ferry from Italy to Greece, hiking 6 miles with our backpacks in search of our hostal- it was quite the adventure. But back to the story at hand!
Once we dropped things off at my place and Hannah had a couple cups of coffee (a vital part of the process), we were ready to go out again. We went with some of my friends to Mesón de la Guitarra to hear some flamenco music and eat some tapas, then on to Mesón del Champiñon for more tapas, and much to our dismay, more music. You see, the flamenco music at the first place was awesome. It always is. At the second place, however, they were playing what sounded like bad mexican country music. To make matters worse, it was karaoke. Fortunately, only one lady actually sang, but she was completely lashed and after she finished singing she continued dancing around for a while. Oh well. We still had a lot of fun.
By the time we got home and went to bed, it was around 3 am. That's not particularly late for Spain, but Hannah had been up all day after flying here from Seattle the day before! So, she slept until about 1 pm today. She's getting ready right now, then we're off to- well, I don't know where. We'll figure that out as we go, I suppose. We're going to Casa Mingo tonight (famous for rotisserie chicken and cider), followed by Populart (live jazz). Then tomorrow, we're going to Segovia. For now, though, it looks like we're off!
