Friends

I have friends of many types, not just gay, lesbian? and Prostitutes. I happen to find good in all sorts of people. I have old friends, older in age, young young friends, male friends, female friends. I just so happen to find some people colorfull. I am not bias, color is also not a problem.
All these people, have shown me many things in the world that most of you have never experienced because of your narrow minds.

Sending me money? I work for my money, and if someone wants to send a gift then that is great. I don't recieve many gifts, I ask Tina to pay her back and she refuse. Like she said she has known me for years!!!
The Gay men I met from Italy were wandering around this court yard I was sitting at a table for four there were no more tables, I invited them to sit with me and told them I would not bother them. I was being kind, funny how people love to turn everything in a drama!! when all it was was a nice meeting, them being happy I offered a table and they rewarded me with one glass of wine. We ended up walking and shopping, they invited me to see one show, but I laid down to sleep and never got up till the next day.

Now Yesterday, I went to very cool little sidewalk cafe, But first interneted at the hostal I stayed at the day before. Because I needed to buy a ticket and I did not have internet at the place I am staying now which is called Hostal Camino on one of the main roads in Chueca, a barrio inMadrid. I walked some five blocks to ask if I may. First let me go back, I am so time lost that I woke up again yesterday at 1:30 feeling so out of sorts and not well. So by the time I dressed and walked to this place it was about 3:00. I sat down to eat, but the restuarant had closed only bar food. It was some potato thing they call Spanish toritilla... but it doesn't resemble a tortilla at all its like scalloped potatoes baked in a form.
So I had a double coffe, that and they always I notice give you the best bread. I was carefull only at half and a couple of bits of bread. This s suuch different food than I am ajdusted too.
When I sat down I sat with a young lady, Spanish gal about 23 we talked and laughed and then her boyfriend came, after about 20 minutes they left. A nice man chinese, next to me from Holland sat down with his lap top and we began to talk also. He was talking quite alot untill this blonde handsome man walked up and asked if he could sit at my table. I said sure, it was hot and sunny and I was enjoying sitting in the warm sun. Drinking a double coffee and nibbling on my tortilla?? it just doesnt look like one to me! so all of sudden he spoke, English. Wow he had a british accent. We ended up talking and laughing and spent the whole afternoon together. He walked with me to shop for an adapter for the plug on the computer I told him I have been in this mode where I believe I am going to find something or do something and it happens FAST! he was laughing in disbelief! well we walked out to one street, I saw a key shop stopped asked where I could buy this adapter they pointed across the street . We trotted across and got it that fast! he was looking at me like hmmmm?? how did you do that so fast. Living in Costa Rica was huge help doing anything was a major chore so this was simple. Here it is more sohpisticated, and of course more up to date with everything. Then we walked to get Shampoo, I needed some I bought it and he bought a beer, for him and for me a water. We walked back to the center square and sat in the sun for hours. Right now the sun goes down around 8:30 its still day lite at 9:00 so we said our good byes, gave a hug and he invited me to do something today. I would love to see some sites, so after finding a cell phone which is our goal. We are going to eat and then see some sights.
It was quite an amazing day just taking my time and visiting, laughing and talking. He tried selling me on staying in Madrid , and not to go to Ibiza, encouraged me to stay. Said there are great opportunities here. But he may be a good contact he is an engineer. I can call him or find other contact's through him and I am sure return to visit or visa versa. I want to go a beach area, where it is warm. Besides I read that events and my work is very impressive in the cities I have researched to look at. And I have a job opportunity in Ibiza and Sevilla. So I want to check it out. One is with a design company for Interiors, the other is with events. I have three contacts there.
I want to go to Sicily in Aug so these places are closet to Sicily making the tickets easier and less money.

So going to get dressed, go eat and then meet him at 11:30 am.
The weather right now is so nice very warm in the day very cool at night. Last night I watched the people from the balcony. Lots of different types, partying and singing, making lots of noise. I took a long bath, washed my hair finally from four or five days of not having shampoo. Sat in a tub which is something I haven't done in years.. and enjoyed the bath! then I jumped into bed and fell asleep.
Last night was the first night of really good rest. I didn't hear much street noise and the bed on the other side was better. not so beat up!
I have sensory overload, there are so many stores, shops, sites buildings fountains, people, cars that are just beautiful! I really am enjoying this. I can not wait to post photos if I can figure out this Camera that Roberto bought to replace my Cannon.
They have these food bars, I don't exactly know what they are called, but today I will photograph one. It is various things, huge ham legs like procuito, and marinated veggies. Potatos, well lots of things I have never seen, in the form they eat them in.

I really haven't eaten much since I have been here. So lets see what today brings!
