Madrid April 15, 1992

(cont.)

   I hated walking around with the Bakers because they made us stop at every bakery so they could get free samples ( we can't take them anywhere).
   We went to a currency exchange place, and Scott was showing off his Spanish skills by asking a whole bunch of irrelevant questions ( he is such a cutie).
   Then we walked to the Plaza Major, which is exactly the center of Madrid.  It was super sunny, and there are hundreds of chairs set up, kind of like an outdoor cafe.  There were artists who were doing grotesque caricatures of people.  One of the shops had these dead baby pigs displayed in the window, which was disgusting.   They are really into meat here ( we saw a shop here called the Museum of the  Ham (Museo del Jamon).
   Well anyway, Kara and I got sick of following the Barkers (someone called them that, and it kinda stuck), so we decided to sit down in the chairs in the square and just people watch.
