Just Like Being at the Movies

written May 25:

After arriving back from Portugal on Saturday, my family checked in the same apartment I stayed in my first week in Madrid. Staying there for four nights was cheaper than staying in a hotel for 2 nights. The apartment is nice and clean and centrally located. However, it is also on a plaza that attracts many different types of people. It’s pretty safe but like any plazas, you’ll see interesting things.

That Saturday, Elaine and I slept in my place because we went out dancing. The next morning, we picked up the “oldies” so we could go to the Rastro. When we arrived at the apartment, my parents said we missed a movie the night before. What movie, I asked. My mom proceeds to tell us about a very young couple who were sitting, making out, on one of the plaza’s benches. As time passed, the boy and girl kept getting closer and closer and eventually, the girl was pretty much on top of the boy. I’m assuming they were just dry humping and not having full on sex (at least, I hope they had the decency to only dry hump).

Listening to the oldies tell this story – and the fact that they kept watching it – was great! It kinda made me wish I saw it too.
