It´s hot in Spain 9-12-10

TODAY IS SUNDAY BUT IT DOESN´T SEEM LIKE IT.  I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM AT AN INTERNET CAFE.  THE COMPUTER IS ANCIENT AND SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.
We met our guide, Jose.  He will be with us the entire trip.  He doesn't want us to wear our name tags because it will instantly identify us as tourist --newly arrived tourist.  He is concerned that that will make us more vulnerable.  Jesus is our bus driver.  He will also be with us the entire trip. 
 THIS MORNING WE TOOK A TOUR AROUND THE CITY.  CITY CENTER WAS ABSOLUTELY BURIED IN A SEA OF GARBAGE.  LAST NIGHT WAS ´´WHITE NIGHT´´ WITH LOTS OF PICNICING, SHOPPING, MUSEUMS OPEN UNTIL 5 AM.  APPARENTLY LOTS OF PARTYING.  THE REST OF THE CITY HAS BEEN TIDY.  MANY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, LOTS OF STATUES-MONUMENTS, .  THEN WE SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF AT PRADA MUSEUM.  THE GUIDE SHOWED US LOTS OF GOYA, REMBRANT, ETC. PAINTINGS.  AT NOON WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL FOR A BREAK.  AROUND 1.30 WE WALKED TO THE TRAIN STATION.  FOUND A BEAUTIFUL INDOOR GARDEN IN THE OLD TRAIN TERMINAL. SAW MANY, MANY SMALL TURTLES ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DINNER PLATE.  THEY STACKED THEMSELVES UP LIKE A MAMA WITH TWO BABIES ON TOP --FUNNY.  ATE LUNCH AND VISITED UNTIL 4 PM. 
TIME IS DIFFERENT. BREAKFAST IS LIGHT.  SOMETIMES A SMALL OMELET MIDMORNING OR SO.  LUNCH IS NEVER BEFORE 1. SIESTAS ARE IN THE AFTERNOON.  EVERYTHING IS PRETTY QUIET FROM 3.30 TO 5PM. EARLY EVENING IS TAPAS AND WINE.  TAPAS IS A VERY SMALL SERVING OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. COULD BE FISH, MEAT, SANDWICH, ETC.  WILL LET YOU KNOW MORE ON THAT AFTER WE SAMPLE IT.  THE WINE IS A VERY SMALL SERVING, TOO SO YOU CAN VISIT SEVERAL BARS.  DINNER IS SERVED AFTER 9PM, BUT AS LATE AS MIDNIGHT.  WE ARE OBVIOUSLY ADJUSTING SLOWLY BUT WANT TO TRY TAPAS SOMETIME.  LAST NIGHT AT THE WELCOME DINNER WE WERE SERVED A PITCHER OF SANGRIA TO SHARE WITH OUR TABLE OF SIX.  IT WAS THE BEST WE HAD EVER TASTED.
