Noche en Blanco, Madrid

Tonight we are going to the ''Noche en Blanco'' in Madrid which is like an entire night of free cultural events in every part of the city. I was going to try and post a link for everyone to read about it, but they are all in Spanish. Sorry! I have gathered that it's the second annual one, and it was so popular last year that they like doubled or tripled the number and frecuency of events. There's a ton of visual art and all kinds of bands, from locals to people they brought in. There's also some exhibits designed for reflection and contemplation, and all the museums are free (we went to the Museo Reina Sofía and the Museo del Prado earlier today). Just walking around we passed like fifteen or twenty events close to our hostel, many of which don't even start until like 4 or 5 am. I'll take some videos for you all so you can see how the Madrid night life is. To tell the truth, we've been out every night until around two, and when we go to bed there are still soooo many people on the streets and at the cafés; it's definitely a contrast to the night life in KC.

Pics and videos to follow, I promise. As soon as we get internet set up in Almería.

Greg and the Suz,
We all miss you guys here like crazy already. I am completely stoked to see that you both are doing so well. It's kinda funny, I just had a mental image of how freakin awesome it is going to be when you guys finally come home and we all get to huddle around the TV and look at all the pictures and listen to the stories. Stories of a life that none of us really know about. This is such an excited opportunity for you both, and I don’t believe there is anyone that deserves it more than you two.

You know this whole blog thing is pretty cool. Maybe I should make one of my everyday life. Problems being that it would only consist of four things: Work, poop, sex, sleep. I feel as if I would bore a random few...ehh?

Any who, aside from the ridiculousness I hope you guys are having fun. It is around 2:30am where you guys are so I am sure you a just getting to bed. Sweet dreams and goodnight.

So long from KC.

Nick.
