As in right now, I am traveling thru Castilla la Mancha province on my way to the beach, on my way to see the lady after picking up some stuff I forgot and some stuff she made me bring back..well you know it is just women. I just stopped in “La Gineta” a small truck stop to go to the bathroom and get some food (which by the way it was pretty shitty) although, even in these places they have the all talk about amazing Spanish products: (AGAIN JAMON, QUESO, BREAD AND BEER ARE ON THE EVERLASTING, NEVER CHANGING SPANISH MENU) and of course I do not mind.
This morning before coming I met with SAYES a really good friend and DJ extraordinaire, (I know when he reads this he is gonna like the comment), but he is Good, and I am listening to some fresh new deep House, and for those who don’t know me, apart from making food I make beats. ( not as good as food), but just like they say….(you can be good at one thing, not many things). Damn! This track is good.
My short stay in Madrid was pretty much about the same when I left it. Cerveza, mas tapas, mas tapas…with the family and friends….i love eating but at this point I’d love to have a fresh salad, my mom has been cooking for me, she likes that cause she has barely seen me in 10 years and I like it even more…the chef gets to sit down and eat instead of cooking. Mommy mommy mommy !!!
People ask me why I travel on the bus, Armando: you have money you should take the train or the plane….my friends say; just because I live in the US it does not give me a bank account full of cash, besides even if I had all the money, after so much time away, the bus is the way to go…..the landscape, dessert like view, small roads, sheeps and cows, trees without stress..and the smell from chimneys burning veggie charcoal…I remember when I was a kid…it is getting dark, the sky is beautiful and the bus is pretty much empty. This track is also pretty goo, I am finding myself kind of dancing on the seat to the rhythm of house..thanks SAYES!
Can’t wait to see “La china”, I wonder was she has been up to: Hola! quiero pan y jamon!!!!! Probably, she loves jamon, and this country is starting to look like her playground…she told me she wants to come back to Spain every year, and that is scary ‘cause we have barely started to scratch the surface of this place.
Well as in for now that’s all…tomorrow fish shopping, more cooking and more writing to come….cheers.
