two perfect nights

***saturday 18/10, madrid***

- hey rita, i'll be having dinner here, and it's close enough, so maybe you can come by later with marta, we have some drinks here and then we go
- by car?
- i think so!
- nice...
- go to this subway stop, and we'll make light signs from the window :P

[...]
- so you are coming by car... ok, after this village you take this road, and then this dirt track... you'll pass by some fields, a big sewage system plant, and also many people walking in the same direction, is kind of a long way, 5 or 6 km... you'll recognise when you have arrived, you'll either see the ruins or quite many cars...

[...]
and there we were left, the 3 of us, at the beginning of a row of parked cars, people... and we walked up another path, jumped through the hole in the wall, went around another wall, and there we were in the yard of an abandoned monastery. few lights (most coming from the energy control stand), big speakers, music just starting...

we tried to go on a walk around the monastery, but with the rainy weather we couldn't see much, and instead i came back with mud all over my sneakers and trousers (and more that we got along the night!).

so back to the first place, while they were also preparing the second area, in the old chapel, with different music and so.
we also met there friends of mine (alberto, the "pharmacist"...), friends of rita (miguel, pavi, dani...)...

and mainly that was the night! up to the yard, down to the chapel, out to the forest, out in the other direction to the cars, back again... funny people doing strange things sometimes, and a very nice surprise that came to join us around 5 (and brought -more- water and -more- warm clothes!) :D and a different dimension...

i was more than 4 hours being completely unable to stop talking, ahah. i tried to avoid it first, but then i saw i couldnt, so i just tried to change the listener from time to time, so that no one got bored... and so happy! such nice views! (oh, that sky... :P) the best moment of the night, when the clouds opened a bit just where the moon was... amazing, i couldn't stop looking =)

- remember those cartoons where they mix with some real images... doesn't it really look like that? can't you see the real image and the cartoon part? :P
[...]

with the daylight we finally went to explore the rest of the monastery. really worth seeing! (it even has a bottomless pit... :O) and by that time you could find a lot of other people walking around there too...

and that was it! 10.00 time to go, for me at least, even if some friends stayed till 12.30, 15.00...
long night full of -happy- stories...


***tuesday 21/10, barcelona***

"erasmus party at shôko, say you are in nice barcelona list and you get free entrance, free drink before 00.45, and special prices all night"

and after a horrible day with everything going wrong, the planets started to aligne...

i was with the best people (even gloria that was visiting that day!), in one of the most exclusive clubs in barcelona, entering just in time (at 00.44!) to get the free drink. and it was exactly like being back in stockholm!
same type of club, with one of those cool terraces like in stureplan, but instead of the street there was the beach! so even better. same type of people, of clothes, that "sweden's short concept", so many foreign people... and same type of music, those hits we heard every day in stockholm! i sometimes even looked around to look for some sundby people...

nostalgic, yes, but happy to relive that for one day, it was exactly what i needed...
