Attempted nap time.

RENFE! Our favorite train!

Telepizza!

Janelle and Joel took their final trip to the beach this morning after spending their last night in the apatment hostel. We made our last trip out to sea and returned to shower off the salt before leaving for the train back to Madrid. It was sad to leave Alicante, but it had to be done and the two of us had had enough of the sun-for our skin...sorry again daddy. But we still had the most fun that we could in Alicante and enjoyed our second stay even more than the first. After that, we headed for Telepizza-aka the gift from heaven for food/cheapness/pizza. We got there at 12 but unfortunately after lugging our suitcases around the city, it turned out that Telepizza didnt open till 1! Janelle and Joel were tired and needed to sit down for a while. So...they decided to sit on the step of an apartment building right next to Telepizza to rest. They had been sitting for maybe five minutes-Janelle with wine bottle in hand-when suddenly an evil, old lady began to curse at them in Spanish. Janelle and Joel just stared in awe at this lady that was going off on them. We understood every word but when she asked "Entiendes?", we just blankly stared at her as if we had no idea what she said. Then Joel found a sitting spot inside a mall where Telepizza had tables to sit at-even when not open. It was genius. Who would get mad at them for sitting there?...Answer: a mall cop. But, he was a little more understanding and told us that there was public seating down the escalators. We finally found a safe haven. After all the stress, we played favorite food games (surprise, surprise) and passed the time until 1. Telepizza then opened its doors and we were the first customers to receive the greatness. It was delicious as expected. We then got on the train back to Madrid and tried to sleep but to no avail. We were still happy. Upon arriving back in Madrid we found our new hostel-which is greatly hidden from the world-and went up to our room to rest. No A/C...we are making the best with the 5" TV and wireless. Not much time is spent in the room anyway. We then went to scavenge for dinner and ended up eating at "El Brillante" which was a delicious meal. We headed back for the hostel to close out the night. Joel enjoyed the dinner but was passing gas in the room and decided he needed to go #2. Meanwhile, Janelle is hanging out in the room when Joel runs into the room laughing nervously with a red face. Janelle said "oh lord joely, what could have possibly gone wrong now?" In between laughs Joel explained that he went to the bathroom and could not figure out how to flush the toilet. Janelle said "you just pull the string above the toilet seat." "oh" and joel further explained "i had to run out of the bathroom because there was a girl in there and i was embarrassed i couldnt flush the toilet." Then Janelle told Joel "you know the bathrooms are not unisex here right?" joel did not realize that not only did he go #2 and not flush, he was also in the GIRLS bathroom. WOWZERS! and joel thought Janelle was the "blonde" of the trip. Everything is alright though. The world is still spinning and we are still having fun. Janelle is excited for Haagen Daas Day tomorrow. She also made the mistake of using the mens' bathroom earlier today so HA! We are trying to decide what we want to do for tomorrow...Goodnight!
