Yes, still in Madrid. Still waiting on getting my van back from the garage... Atleast it seems they have identified the issue so a little advancement .

Otherwise, was really nice to see how spanish people celebrate the New Year. I had no idea about the story of the 12 grapes that you have to eat in the last 12 seconds of the year. I am very fortunate to be able to witness this different culture, sorry no pictures for that to show.

So while i am waiting for things to advance, i have to say that i enjoy the weather being sunny here.. Sitting in the balcony just reading and taking in all the light; gives me the good energy to be positive.

I did take my hoodie off eventually as it was warm enough to be in a tshirt.

Otherwise, here's a couple pictures from town; with the usual coffee breaks. Coffee and sandwitches cost around 6€

Even though i am tourist(y) here, i will not ride the tourist train :)

Time is steadily flowing forward and i got to enjoy the festivities of the three Kings, with a nice parade (mainly for children) but nice to see anyways.. Here's pictures from that parade.

Was very enjoyable, and even managed to snatch a couple candies they were throwing around

Well, like in the title, just spending time and trying to keep myself busy.

But mainly my time is spent like these two
