If I stick my head out the window and crane
my neck up, I can make out the sky. Othewise,
I'm completely walled in. This is very foreign.
Waking up has been difficult because my room
remains quite dark even after sunrise.

These plants help me! Happy plants, happy plants! We all
wish for more light!Mientras tanto, por lo menos nos tenemos a nosotros.





In barrio Embajadores, the streets fill up
every Sunday with people selling and buying
objects at the flea market, el Rastro.

You can find anything at the Rastro: toiletries, knick-knacks,

antique lamps, collector's stamps, baby clothes, second hand cloths,

toys, keys, locks, books, scarves, fans, etc, etc, etc...While were

walking through, we held our purses in front of us to avoid

being pick-pocketed. Afterall, parts of the rastro are absolutely packed

with people browsing, some of whom I'm sure venture there mainly

to steal. We saw an ordinary man reach toward an old man's trouser

pocket, going in for the steal. A vendor saw this and yelled at the theif

to stop, to leave the rastro, or he would call the police.

This is another auxiliar, from Oregon. Her

name is Shayna and she lives 5 min. away

from me. Here she is standing next to panuelos.

This frozen street artist sits reading an

article and pouring water into a cup...

the girl behind him...I have no idea why

she decided to get in the shot. Who

does she think she is?

Without public education, there is no future for this country

This is the zero kilometer point, located in the heart

of Madrid at Sol; supposedly, all highways in Spain

begin at this point.

What's odd about that man wearing a suit?

This is a frozen street artist "heading" toward the

demonstration.

Can anyone tell which US city this represents?

Gatitos sin hogares buscan su vida al lado del parque

botanico. We saw about 10 in this general area,

outside the botanical gardens, which cost money to see...

so I haven't seen them. I've been told they're not incredibly

more special than Parque del Retiro.

Muchas tortuguitas floating in el lago.

Pretty pair of patos!
