Madrid Day 2: Laundry and Coffee



Well hola blog readers......this is not your favorite carnivore Julian...it's your favorite vegan KIM. I have ransacked the blog today so I apologize for those that are disappointed..... Today was a MUCH better day than yesterday. We had a fantastic time in Madrid and we had CASH MONEY!!!!! Tell me about it! It was an exploration day. We just walked and walked and took lots of pictures to bore our friends with. The highlight of the day was wha t happened this morning. This one is for the ladies....I single handedly figured out a European washing machine and dryer (it is all one unit). Now I know what the men are saying right now and yes I know you do laundry when your woman says "I am not your maid," or "I have a full-time job too ya know?" or maybe "I heard Jen's husband does laundry" but lets keep it real. So to your left you will see a picture of a washing/drying machine. Please tell me how to work that thing....when there are no word only numbers, letters of the alphabet and squiggly pictures of things that do not look like washing or drying? Well praise GOD because I found a manual in the house and after I found the english page, did much reading, and found the milliliters to cups conversion chart on google, I made it happen!!!! That thing was movin' and grovin'! BUT before you get to excited the one thing the manual did not say was "pack a lunch." That’s right ladies...if you thought this was one of those "oh i will just jump in the shower and then throw it in the dryer" thing you were greatly mistaken. Holy long time Batman! I mean I was lucky it was hot today because I would have needed that sweatshirt. So maybe you are saying that’s kinda lame Kim....why did you ransack the blog to tell us that? That’s a great question and I am not quite sure I have an acceptable answer but I was just proud I actually read a manual and didn’t break it while trying to figure it out on my own (which usually ends up with me yelling at it and then Julian patiently reading the directions and figuring it out .) It must have been the 12 hours of sleep last night that calmed me down. If you are missing J here is a picture of his favorite thing that he enjoyed many times today. And we figured out that we do not have to tip here!!! AMEN!!! I mean we are already broke as a joke coming from the US.....how did the Euro get so strong!!!!????
