Countdown to Madrid: 2 Days

So today is Friday. I didn't do a thing all day long. I sat out on the terrace and read in the sunshine. I helped Hanane to make fun of Toufiq (have I mentioned him before? he's my homestay brother, age 27) because he's been sick and doing nothing to make himself better. He wants to marry either a European or an American, and Shannon, if you're reading this, he thinks you're absolutely gorgeous.

I got three cards, a letter, and a parcel all in the same day, yesterday. The earliest was dated 18 Feb and the latest 28 Feb. Like I said, the mail system here has no sense of punctuality.

I have found the medina's best patisserie, and they have my loyalty to come almost every day and purchase summat. It's absolutely delicious and dirt cheap. I haven't found an item for more than 10dhm ($1.25). I am about to be kicked out. I will be thinking of all of y'all when I am in Spain and trying out my very basic Spanish with the locals. I hope to flamenco a time or two and do a tapas night. You will, of course, hear all about it.
