I thought I should put up a brief post before I leave for the weekend. As you know my beautiful mother was here this weekend, and I don’t think it is an understatement to say she was a hit. I loved having her here, my friends loved meeting her and hanging out a little bit, and she even cleaned our kitchen (unfortunately, I went in less than 6 hours later and it was re-destroyed…sorry mom). We saw lots of museums (lots and lots of art), which I can and will describe in more detail in a later post, but among them we saw exhibitions of Picasso, Michelangelo, Klimt, Rodin, and I can’t remember them all right now. We ate great food, it was fun to hang out with Pat’s parents, and I was really sad to see her go (even though it was remarkably hectic getting her to the airport train and then running to make it to my German test on time).
I’ll be staying with Paul Ream (a Davidson friend) and his host family in Madrid. My flight leaves here at 7 and I get in about 10. Tomorrow morning I get to tour the major paper printing press in Madrid, and it is supposed to be in the 60s there the whole week. I’m really excited and I’ll take lots of pictures and put up a looooong post when I get back.
Final thought: Here’s a website I’ve been watching the last few weeks. Kind of depressing/interesting/jaw-dropping.
