After adopting the Spanish lifestyle and going to bed at nearly 6:30am, I felt entitled to sleep in late and laze around the apartment despite the need to clean and do laundry. Andrew left in the afternoon to return to Carmenchu's place north of Madrid.
At 7:15, I walked with Graeham; however, we lost our usual way to Retiro and found ourselves passing metro stations sprinkled across the map: Noviciado, Ruben Dario, Gregorio Maranon, and finally Iglesia. We still relished the scenic route (see foto) that began on Recoleto; we took the metro home so that I could make dinner plans.
Around 9ish, I took the metro and a short walk down Calle Huertas to eat with former Fulbrighter, Morgan Cronin. Morgan worked at Manuel Nunez de Arenas last year as a Fulbright fellow and chose to continue as a conversation auxiliary sponsored by another program. Morgan prepared an impressive dinner that began with salad followed by the main course, a roast chicken with carrots, onions, and potatoes. We ate peaches for dessert. We had an excellent conversation the whole evening; Morgan shared her scrapbook of travels, and we discussed venturing to Turkey together this year!
