getafe

on saturday i finally met the editor of la sombra del membrillo and ofcourse they presented me with a copy of their magazine. you see, since i am from india and speak spanish, i am exquisite for them. it doesn´t bother me at all since it comes with many advantages. i even got the opportunity to present the programme.

the musical poetry recital went off well. i was surprised to see such a young poet...he´s only 19 years old.

but his poems are all sad and negative. there isn´t a glimpse of hope in them. infact after the recital instead of thinking, "wow! what poetry!" i was thinking, "the poor boy. he´s going through hell." he seems to me a romantic poet. the whole thing was dramatic with him standing up all of a sudden, cringing in pain and to top it all jumping off the stage. the singer has a marvellous voice. i guess she represents the hope. on the whole an enriching experience.

this weekend is a long weekend because monday and tuesday are holidays. yippee!

tomorrow we are going to madrid to do some shopping. and if it doesn´t rain on sunday we are going to segovia. i can´t wait to see the roman aqueducts.

i also have other plans for monday and tuesday. i´ll let you know soon.
