the good but chaotic life

Since I last left off, I was somewhere in Nepal...well in those past few months lots has changed.
I left Dallas, moved to Tacoma,WA and have started working for the News tribune as their lead sports designer.
I am in the extremely long process of buying a townhouse (more on that later... That is a very long post)
Things have been pretty crazed the past few months with the job search *more on that later also because there is so much drama leading up to why I decided to move and what ultimately brougt me to the SeaTac area* but again later as I write this on my blackbert from halfway around the world.
Oh yes. I have gone and left the country again. This time it is Spain, in particular, Madrid and Barcelona. I met my friend Anna here as we had started to plan this trip before I left Dallas.
Some of these entries may be a little cryptic becuse of the typing and time restraints but I want to keep people posted and updated since I have tons of emails to catch up on from the past 30 days.
Left Seattle at 6 am Sunday morning after working long tiring sports shift where it was the first Saturday that I was in charge.
Delayed arrival from Miami, long taxi line, problem getting money out of ATM since I forgot to call bank and let them know I was going to Spain.
But made it to hotel - cute and cheap. Anna was delayed also so she thought she would wait for me at airport, then missed me. Both of us were hungry so we set off out our door after I took a quick shower to wash off all the stink of 24 hours of travel.
Walked around Plaza mayor. Beautiful day. Lunch of jamon, queso and calamari and bread. Long leisurly lunch to catch up with Anna on all that has happened in last month. Great people watching.
Walked down calle Atocha to museum reina to see Picasso's guernica and other modern art pieces (some Miros, Dal other Picasso).
Most shops are closed as it is siesta time. Go back to hotel for short nap that turns into long one. Both of us are not hungry and after an hour of planning our day we call it a night and plan to get up early tomorrow.
