Like the title reads, this town rocks. First of all thanks to Jon P. for introducing me to Nathan, and thanks to Nathan and Edurne for taking me in for a while. And thanks to everyone for helping me get on my way.
When I go there I was kind of hating life - jet lag has a strange effect. I went to sleep at 9:30 local time, woke up at three in the morning, finally fell back asleep around seven, then slept until noon. I walked around Madrid all this afternoon, then went to see a play (in English), celebrated St. Patrick's day at Paul, Kelly, and Lance's place, went to a bar, went to a club, then finally had dinner after three this morning.
Tomorrow Nathan and I head to Valencia for Las Fallas (Edurne is sick) - a crazy festival where effigies are burned and fireworks set off. We then head for a national park whose name I can't remember, then head to Cadiz and Malaga on the Meditteranean. We should be back a week from Sunday (I think).

Totally agree. Madrid is sweet. If you have 1 extra day take a bus trip to Toledo or Segovia (both within a couple hours). Segovia has an ancient Roman aquaduct that runs through the entire city, and Toledo is where El Greco did most of his work.
