La Assumption

tuesday August 15

What should have been my first day on the job, is my first day off now.
I never heard of La Asuncion (feast of the Assumption), but I like it allready.
When I opened my mailbox at an internet cafe down the street (internet at my appartment somehow doesn't work) I was happy to find the right papers for collecting my car. The only problem... this internet cafe doesn't make prints!!!! What can I do, maybe it's better to wait till tomorrow and print the papers at work!! Something tells me this whole car issue is not gonna work.

Metro station La Latina, 200 meters from my appartment on Calle Toledo, is my gateway to the city. I'm carrying my map of the cities underground with me all the time, and picked a random station from the map; Serrano station in Salamanca area will be my destination for today!
Nice area, but because of the public holiday everything, except for bars, is closed today. I decided a bar isn't a bad destination for a day off...

Why does my street seems to be the centre of all ongoing parties for this public holiday? Even with the earplugs my Belgian colleague Hugo bought for me it was impossible to sleep before 3, which is not so bad, if it was not that I have get up tomorrow at 6 to start my new job...
