i have found a moment to leave another message. first to answer some questions, I am attending International House Madrid, e-mail me for more info. also it takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get from el escorial to madrid by bus. I am so so very happy as i am sure i have stated. i am on my way now to flamenco class. i take the metro to lavapies and then to ruben dario after class to teach that little girl. but in between things i have to do, i find myself walking carelessly through the streets of madrid, stopping in a random bars to have a caña or cafe´con leche with queso manchego, and hang out and talk to the camarero or people next to me, life is very very good. it has been very very hard, but i worked at it everyday to make a life here, and i was not going to give up. (i now have hot water in my apartment yaaaaaaaaa) i don´t have much time to write but i promise i will when i get some more time. i was thinking of posting the e-mails i send back home here in this thread, it gives more detail to what´s going on, maybe i will, maybe on friday, well anyways Ta´Luego!!!
