The full picture

As I told Sal in the comments below -- there's a reason the girl in the profile photo is smiling so big. :) (Pre-partying in Conchita's kitchen, summer of 2004; with Ashley and Renee. I'm drinking San Miguel, while Ashley has a BIG bottle of Mahou; Renee is looking at our photos from San Fermines in Pamplona.)

That was a long, fun night. From Conchita's kitchen... running through Puerta del Sol in the rain... to a couple random bars... to Kapital... to cafe at 7 a.m. ... And somewhere in there I kissed a man from Andorra named Antonio.

So a couple more photos, just for posterity. With Michael the German, who actually batted for the other team but pinched-hit as my boyfriend on a few occasions when the Spanish boys came on too strong (earning him the esteemed title of "San Miguel"); and Laura from Texas, who made every outing 100x more fun. I doubt she'll appreciate my posting this particular photo for all the world to see... but I'm doing it out of love. Ah, Madrid... te quiero.
