DAY 2 June 28, 2005
By the way, I feel like such a tourist and I hate it. I'm never traveling again as a tourist. I enjoy living somewhere, or at least I will discover if I do next year. Yo quiero vivir en Madrid por un año. I think that I will like living in a cityand I will find that out after living in Seoul. I want to learn Spanish and I want to learn Spain Spanish.
We took the subway today, and we walked. My legs tell me that we walked and I have an amazing bruise over my knee from running into a short black pole that marks roads from sidewalks.
The air here is dry, arid...most of Spain is in a drought right now and it is screaming for water. My eyes even want water. I drank at least two Nalgene water bottles full and more. Thr problem is walking and drinking water with a lack of bathrooms. It sucks.
On the way home (hotel) from the walking tour of Madrid one of the girls from California, Jenna, broke into a seizure. At first I thought it was a joke, but then her sister was bawling and Jenna was on the ground shaking. Señora poured water on her head and a lady from Madrid, I think a nurse tried to keep her from choking. She turned blue in her lips for a monent. We are not supposed to tell her it was a seizure.
I arrived back at teh hotel around 9pm. We were here the first time at 2pm. Now it is near 11 and past my bedtime.
