You know, this trip is going to provide possible flashback anecdotes for a long time into the future. I mean, I can barely recall everything I want to talk about right now, but I know that I will have moments of lucidity that will strike.
Anyhow, had a great start today. Alex and I trucked over to a fruit market kind of a place that also had some great pastries and cheeses. We stocked up and wandered over to a nearby park for a delightful breakfast. We feasted on olives, baguettes, clementines, figs, cherimoyas, chocolate, manchego cheese, croissants... oh my lord, so good! Seriously, there is some great food here. Yesterday, for example, we wandered through one of 8-10 festivals going on in the city, sampling different foods wherever we went to and stocking up on chocolates (honey, olive oil, coffee, and orange). The day before, we had purchased honey in the comb which was a absolutely fantastic: we were like orgasmic bears on the streets of Madrid, covered in sticky delight. We finished the rest yesterday with chocolate... oh, God.
Continuing with the bear synonym... we climbed trees after breakfast and then used the bark on others to satisfy our itchy backs. If I could be an animal, it would be a bear.
It might surprise some to know that we haven't really been out partying, per se. I mean, we fully intended to yesterday, but somehow, once we made it back home to change, we ended up crawling under the covers for a quick nap and woke up at 11 AM. Tonight, though, we'll be having some fun, and tomorrow we're getting up early-ish to go to El Rastro, a huge flea market with countless bootleg articles. Yay!

C'mon, where are the rest of the Madrid stories? What bootleg crap did you come back with? Also, how do you feel about the Castillian accent?
