I made it to Spain just fine yesteday, and have been wandering around the streets of Madrid ever since (well, except for a few hours when i went to bed, obviously=). Turns out I´m rooming with Breana, who´s from Colorado. At first, this was super cool - I didn´t in fact have to wander around by myself. However, as the day/night progressed... I decided that I wasn´t quite sure.
See, she´s a bit of a well... a wimp. Seems a bit scared to cross streets, if theres a car coming (even if its like 1/4 mile away!!) for some strange reason (this being despite the fact that shes lived in/around DENVER her entire frigging life...). And then, last night, after dinner when it was just barely starting to get dark around 9:30... she said, and I quote ´´I don´t realy like walking around after dark, especially in Madrid...´´ so, we went back to the Hotel, and guess what? She went to frigging bed. Obviously, this is WAY to early for bed for me (I´d be up around like 6:30, at the latest...), so I stayed up and read for a little while, before becoming bored and going out to wander around Madrid, at night, by myself. It wasn´t bad, but I couldn´t really find much to do, so in the end I settled for a beer at a random bar and then went back and read an listend to my iPod for a while untill I finally went to bed around 2am (and, you know what?? I *still* woke up before here - at 9:30am.. I just don´t know how people can sleep for sooo frigging long...).
In anycase though, so far Madrids been pretty cool. Lots of people (really, too many for my tastes..), and I think I managed to find the ´´happenin´´ section of town a little bit ago, so hopefully tonight will be more fun than last.
This Blog
This blog is about my & my families lives. Much of whats here is (and will be) about us, what we are doing, feeling, thinking.
I'm a stay at home mom right now, and am loving it. My son was born in March of 2007, and he's super - growing like a little weed, and learning about the world around him. He was breastfeed exclusivly till around 6.5 months when we started letting him self-feed. Now he eats everything (though he's still nursing like a pro!), and is just an amazing little guy. He's slowly learning how to walk, so he can get it even more stuff than he does already. In many ways I can't wait. In others, I hope he takes his time!!
I also have a strong activist side of me, so from time to time, you'll see things that have me in a tizzy for whatever reason - Darfur, the Congo, Iraq, the environment, and the many other things I feel strongly about. If you happen to agree and would like to help out, I urge you to check out my links under Activism. Find your state's PIRG, write your senators, congressman, etc about things that you believe in (or don't!), just get involved. This country of ours needs you, me and everyone to start caring. Because if we don't, pretty soon there's not going to be much left to care about.
