Adam arrived at Barajas Airport, Madrid, where I met him around 11:00. We took the metro back to my piso in Chueca, and then set out to find food. Although you can find a beverage at any number of bars or from one of the many "Chinese bazarres," finding food at midnight in Spain presents a surprising challenge. We finally found a Kebab place only 5min shy of closing. We ordered "para llevar" and ate gyros at my piso, caught up, and called it an early night. We enjoyed a very lazy morning, as I prefer my Fridays. We unsuccessfully shopped for trainers for Adam (silly one broke his before arriving). In the afternoon we took a walking tour of el Estadio Bernabeu where team Real Madrid plays. I personally enjoyed the posh player seats and hot tub in the locker rooms: nice. In the evening we secured a place in queue for Flamenco tickets: a free concert at the Chamartin metro stop. While Adam held our place, I retrieved bocadillos and cerveza (sandwiches and beer) from Pans Company nearby. We watched the first Flamenco performer, La Talegona. She ranked with us for fastest foot-stomping and most emphatic expressions.
I am an artist and educator. Above all, I am a mother and wife. I love to speed walk, whistle, and cook. I lived in Madrid, Spain as a Fulbright Fellow. I have Lupus SLE.
