Black cat blues


I'm not the only one feeling stressed about moving to Madrid. Today Pepe spent the whole day under our bed. The poor guy had to spend almost six hours in his cage to come here...if a flight is difficult enough for humans, imagine being trapped in a litle box under a seat.

Day one in Madrid




On this first day of my new life in Madrid I was surprised to see that our old Brussels' joke, "there are no Belgians in Belgium" could very well be applicable to the capital of the Kingdom: few Spaniards at my local supermarket (employees and customers), lots of tourists on my short walk to the post office...where have all the locals gone?
