So...we are in Madrid

Holler!

It is difficult typing on this hotelś Spanish laptop.  Like, see how the apostrophe became an accent mark over an s? Yeah, weird. ¿But did you know I can do this? ¡And I can do that!

I am really tired after flying here and then staying awake and going to museums. We had a very full day of seeing amazing art and an amazing city. All I wanna do at this point is sleep.

...and post a couple pictures.  ¡Disfrute!

Us on the plane. I look stoned.

Okay, I was gonna put like five more photos...but this computer is slow and frustrating. LINUX? ¡¿REALLY?! Who had that idea High Tech Hotel? (Our hotel is called High Tech...you have to put your keycard in the wall to work the lights.)

I cannot load any more pictures right now...so hopefully the place we will be staying at the rest of the week will have fast internet and I can put a bunch up.

Stay tuned.


PS The staying up forever thing didn't seem to have any effect for better or worse on me. Oh well...I'm awesome.

It's late...or early.

As I start to write this, the time is 4:14 AM. I am sitting on the ground in the living room at my in-laws' typing into this laptop that my good friend Jeff lent me. (Thanks, Jeff!) I have not bloggerized (new word!) for a long time. I have had a number of stories and thoughts that I figured would be great for this blog...but never did anything with them. Like that story about Primary! Oh man.
Here is why I am writing now. This is an experiment. Not the blog (well...that too, really) but the fact that I'm staying up all night. "That's no experiment!" you exclaim. You're right if you are thinking of all-nighters as simply that. HOWEVER! I am leaving here at 6 AM, going to the airport, flying to New York, and from there flying to Spain. We arrive in Spain at...what...something like 7 AM the next day.
THUS the experiment. Rachel is sound asleep. I am trying to be wide awake. We will see how we do on the plane and what sort of jet lagginess (new word!) hits us. This will either be a huge success or a complete failure...either way, I felt it was worth bloggerizing about.
