La noche en blanco

Well I have some updating to do, I suppose...
Last Friday: Had an outing with Agnese, one of the monitores who´s paid to be our friend and went to a bar with sand and a flamenco bar to listen to the men in the basement singing and playing guitar, etc. As we were leaving the flamenco bar, some madrileños in their apartment above the street called to us about a fiesta they were having and agnese invited ourselves in, so we went there and chatted with them for a while in their very nice apartment before deciding it was time to head home (I was spending the night in caitlin´s apartment because her parents had a wedding to go to and she´s afraid of the men in her neighborhood) to relax, watch a movie, you know. on the way home we encountered a certain sick soul in the street and spent the next 2 hours getting said person home... hmm so that was a fun night.
I spent all of Saturday (after paseo #3 with Mario in the morning) sleeping and getting some work done and Saturday night was the noche en blanco (2nd annual). it´s an event where basically the entire center of Madrid is closed off to car traffic and museums and sights are open late for people to visit and bars stay open really late and there are concerts, etc. A group of 6 of us decided to start at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, the Real Madrid stadium for a tour and perhaps to see the "spectacle" on the field there. We showed up at 9, waited in line until 11, and only got to do the tour but it was pretty neat. We saw the dressing rooms, the field, and the museum of the team/history of the team. Afterwards, we decided to head towards the center in the PACKED metro and decided there were too many people where we went (Ópera) so we went to Abbey´s apartment for a snack at 2:30am. After waiting for an hour for a bus to go back to Gran Vía to see the Daft Punk concert, everyone lost motivation and I ended up going home to sleep until 2pm.
This week we haven´t done anything all that exciting other than find a great place to get a menú del día for cheaper and tonight we´re going to the european mixed curling championships!
