so.

on this street, there are 3 starbucks within a 10 minute walk. this cafe, zahara, has another location 3 blocks away, where the internet prices are 3 times as high. there are also lots of theaters... movie theaters and musicals, too. for example, the producers is playing across the street from my hostel. which is on the 3rd floor of a building that has a starbucks on the ground floor. but it´s sweet.

i´m tired of madrid. i went to the prado museum this morning, mainly bc i thought it was 3 euro (not the 6 it is) and because it was raining. there is not much to do in madrid when it rains except shop and see art museums. i´m museumed out. but it did quit raining, which is very good, but i am still tired from walking all over town and am not inclined at the moment to walk even more. and i am sick of spending money, so shopping is out. and i have already checked out of the hostel, and my train isn´t until 11pm, so i have about another 7 hours to kill. hmmmm.

at some point i´ll have to splurge and get chocolate con churros. A. MAZE. ING.

so i´m a tad bored and a little more than a tad tired, which suppose will make for good sleeping on the train. maybe i´ll curl up in one of the 3 starbucks for a while with my latest donald miller book. or maybe i´ll crash the big bookstore and sit on the floor and read one of their books. for 5 hours. or maybe not.

so can you tell i´m a little out of it? it´s pretty hot in here, too, which i guess is a good contrast to the 50 degrees it is outside. and i´m just babbling.

(2 min pause) i can´t think of anything else. which is kind of frustrating, cos all day long i think of stuff that would be good to write about, and of course, as everyone knows, as soon as i sit down at the computer it all goes out of my head.

maybe the chocolate (hot pudding basically) with curros would be good now, as a late afternoon snack. hmmm...
