Madrid's a happenin' place at night
That evening, Oriette and I decided to take to the streets again. It was a nice
evening and young people were everywhere, walking and chatting and filling the
streets and squares with a vibrancy that most cities would die for. We spotted a
small tapas bar and decided to try it out. It was late but the Spaniards do
everything late, including eating. Several had been there before us, and the
napkins and other debris lay in piles beneath the bar stools around the counters.
We ordered a tapa off the strange menu and were surprised to receive
a very tasty patty with some sort of tomato flavor, so good that we ordered some
more. With the evening stroll, the cozy bar with the messy floor, the friendly
waiter and the delicious food, we kicked back and congratulated ourselves for all
alone totally immersing in the Spanish culture. Tomorrow – high speed to
Sevilla!
