7.30

Monday September 4

Monday again, time flies!
I still have to ajust my system to the fact that I'm living here, and not on a holiday. Every day feels like weekend, it's the weather I quess, it's still very hot and especially the evenings are very nice. It seems like nobody stays at home. The streets are very crowded. It's September now, and all the people return from the coast back into the city. This shows in the streets, a lot of places were closed for the summer and they opened again this week, and the amound of people on the streets is increasing every day. Yesterday I went to the park again with Roberto, my new room-mate, and even there it was very busy. Many artists are performing there, music or acrobatics or just showing off with their roller-skates. So nice!!
Roberto showed me the gym they all go to, so I have a VIP membership for a year now....
I broke my Madrilenian record of coming home late this weekend, it was 7.30 when I came home. And that only after a few weekends! I was out with my colleague Carlos, he lives just around the corner with his friend and has a very nice terrace, which we enjoyed till about 2 in the morning before going to the club. Everything is a few hours later here, diner is till about midnight, after diner a drink or a cocktail and then it's time to go to the club. Before you know it, the sun is up again.
The only thing that's not a few hours later is the time my alarm-clock goes off every morning.......

He Pipi,

Ik zie dat je het heel slecht hebt in Spanje. Jammer dat ik je niet heb kunnen uitzwaaien op AOCS. Jouw vakantie adres is in ieder geval beter dan de camping in Soedan...

Gr, Da Captain

Ja, ik geloof dat ik er ook wel aan zou kunnen wennen daar hehehehe. (Wie weet?)

Groetjes
