Time Out to Catch Up

So, for 3,60 euros I´ve got three hours with no one looking over my shoulder, which is a pretty good deal, and totally worth it for me right now. The people I´ve stayed with this month have been so gracious, letting me check email and my bank accounts, etc. while I stay with them, but I need some quality online time for travel planning, writing and logistical stuff that needs to be sorted out. I´ll log onto my Gmail account and AOL IM in a bit too, and maybe I can even chat online with some of the early risers back in the states. (It´s 11:30 am currently in Granada.)

Oh, by the way, I´m at the Navegaweb right off Plaza Nueva on Calle Reyes Catolicos, a perfect central location with plenty of room for me to stow my backpack behind me on the windowsill. I could have paid 4,50 euros to lock it up at the train station but I decided to save my money and take it with me, it is really not that heavy when it is on my back, even though it is full loaded. I´m hoping to prep a small package to send to the states from Madrid. Sounds like all the postcards I´ve been sending are making it in less than 5 days, at least to the East Coast. It costs 78 cents to send a postcard from anywhere in Spain to the States.
