This weekend has been a nice relaxed one so far. Actually, this whole last week has been nice and relxing. After so many adventures last weekend, I layed pretty low. I spent time with the family and stayed in Tres Cantos. My long run with the Hashers last week gave me the confidence to push myself this week. I have been running more and walking less. It's a very good thing.
Yesterday, I taught another English lesson. It is sort of silly. It takes me two hours to get there and two hours to get back and I only teach the lesson for an hour and a half. But since I don't have other plans and I want the extra income, I'll keep doing it for a while. If I can find clients closer, I'll take them. After the english class I came home and watched movies and played with the kids. It was a very mellow evening.
Today I am going to go to Colmenar Viejo to meet with the Hashers. Colmenar is a nine minute train ride north of Tres Cantos. Carlos helped me look at the map and the driving directions the Hashers provided to figure out where I'll need to walk once I get off the train. I think (knock on wood) that I should be able to find it pretty easily. I'm going to leave soon though so I have time to get lost. After the Hash, I'll catch a ride to Madrid for some drinks with my new friends then head home. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, so I can't stay out too late.
Tomorrow morning the family and I are going to go to Toledo. I haven't been yet, but it is one of those places that everyone says I have to go. We are going to check it out and be back in Madrid in the early afternoon. Then Carlos is going to take me to the airport. I should be in London by 8pm or so. Then I have to take a train, the tube, and a walk to find my new friend Nate. After I set my things down at Nate's we are going to a pub to celebrate St. Patrick's day. I am going to bring my computer with me to London. I will try to update pictures as I get them, but I may have to wait until I get back to Madrid. We'll have to wait and see.
Well, it's a beautiful day. I'm going to go enjoy the sunshine!

This is the day... This is the story of my life after college. This is a collection of the tales from my adventures. This is a chronicle of my experiences.
Better Beautiful Than Perfect
I run a little insurrection that moves in the direction that beauty is beauty in spite of perfection
see the crosses at the roadside
see the thorn bush ablaze in bloom
put your feet in the sand, a lukewarm beer in your hand
momma, let down your hair
yes, I´ve chipped a tooth
no need to call home
I don´t have to be anywhere
we can hear the bossa nova
we can sway the night away
the steps to the dance are best left up to chance
better beautiful than perfect, anyway
and while the moon wanes and waxes
death and taxes are lurking out there
Life is grand, Love is real and Beauty is everywhere
And so the clear blue sky
no, she never made a sound
though she was blindfolded, gagged and bound
now see the poppies pushin´ up through the bones on the ground but the body´s never found
can you hear the bossa nova? let us sway the night away...
