Faeries with Boots

It´s just a shadow of the way we should feel
Like a garden in the forest that the world would never see
-Big Country

I don´t have the magnetism of a national hero
I´m not desperate enough to carry around an A-Bomb in a bag
-Big Country


While i was working como un perro, the girls had an enchanting day in Retiro park. It was 70 degrees and they just sauntered out of coffee shops and bars all day. Que Bien!!!

Then I met them for pizza and local wine. Then off to Aeria, my favorite bar, where Jan and I sampled some Absinthe, also know as the ´Green Faerie¨ (which doesn´t even turn heads as Chueca is Madrid´s gay section). I´m not sure what the big deal is: I often see Angels fornicating on the Metro ride home.

Martes is our traditional family night, so the gals are going to cook up some dinner. I´m sure we´ll hang on the patio, and then off to the famed Mural bar.
