caminando, esperando

If you've got no place to go and nothing to do, it's usually a good idea to follow african drumming sounds, if you hear them. I've seen a lot of Madrid in the last few days, and walked a lot. I have a blind man's sense of direction. This is great for travelling. Getting lost 10 or 15 times a day helps me see more of the city. Exercise too.

I've found a decent hostel, and moved there. By day I stroll the streets and some of the attractions, and study Spanish on park-bench breathers. At night, more studying and reading. My lack of command of the language is hindering my ability to make something happen for me here. I'm getting restless about finding a farm to work on. I've gotten no responses yet. I need some sense of security.
