The Best Slide in Town
At Plaza de Espana
Ezra Verified
What did we do today. We ran into some hooligan antics – our first time since we started this around the world voyage. Pretty Good string of days we had going on. But a Sunday morning on the playground, and a gang of Oliver Twist kids showing up led to Ezra’s two big metal trucks being missing. Through so high levels investigative work, Dwana and I discovered that the kingpin of the group – a 9-9 year old boy had them in his pocket. He lied to us, but we were able to recover both cars without much roughing up of the subject. The morning on the playground – a new playground across the street was wonderful. The playground was shaded, but eventually the sun topped the buildings and let the sun beams through.We walked down through the Conde Duque and made a small visit to China. The poetry Slam was finished. The library was closed. We walked down the street to the Plaza de Espana and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine. Viena and Ezra played on their favorite slide. Wedding couples come down to the fountain to take photos. Ezra threw a rock and it ricocheted of the grass and almost hit an unsuspecting Spaniard who was not happy. Ezra is always walking this fine line of doing something inappropriate or not listening. $ years Old. Travelling the world. The day was wonderfully sunny and beautiful. When we came home, I went on a run to the Madrid University. I love running around their 300 meter track. The day by this time had turned into overcast. No rugby game today, only a bunch of volleyball players determined to find out who has the court. I ran 15 laps of 300’s. 4500 meters at a 70 second split with 50 seconds of rest. I almost completed it but had a collapse on the final lap. So I ended up running 5 more. I guess my body is starting to adapt. The run home was good. I passed a group of college students celebrating the beginning of the semester all dressed up in the park. The Spaniards are always ready to protest or party here in Madrid.
