Fin de Semana (Weekend)

This weekend was very nice. After finishing work on Friday (the boss had given us each a beer to enjoy the last hour of the week) I returned to the Pyramid (our house…named after our metro station) to find a happy Carmen. She had a nice day as she has started voluntary work at a NGO and this had gone well. The plan for the night was going out with Carmen’s Master classmates. We met in a nice neighborhood for going out ‘Malasaña’ (to be pronounced as ‘My Lasagna’). All communications were in Spanish. After staying at a rather cheap place we went to the rather cooler bar/club called Via Latica (Milky Way). It was totally packed and we enjoyed it there up to closing hours. After the Via we went to our last destination, some hard rock place close to the main street in Madrid. Not my cup of teas but I had a nice talk with the doorman who now knows my name.

On Saturday we met up with Edu, Carlos and Lourdes (and her boyfriend Fernando). They came to the Pyramid and Herman was also present with his girlfriend (May..she was visiting from Malaga) so in the end we were with 8. It was very nice to see Lourdes again. We hadn’t seen her for two years or so and really fantastic to meet up. We promised to get together more often. At 01.00 we left for a club close by. The Vendetta was also packed to the bone but enjoyed anyway. Edu and I spent most of the night pretending to be English exchange students (with a heavy David Beckham accent) with some success.
