So today was my orientation with CEA. We met at Atocha metro stop and we were introduced to the CEA Office for the first time. After we had our orientation we were given a quick tour of madrid, particularly La Puerta De Sol. After our tour, Morgan and I went home to greet both Katie and Matt which both had arrived. :)
After our greetings, Matt and I walked around Madrid. Then we spontaneously boarded the train and stopped at a metro station called Moncloa. While we were there we stumbled upon an outdoor bar and had a nice, cold, refreshing mojito which was to die for. After we chatted for a bit we went home and had dinner at our usual time, 8:30 pm. Soon afterwards we got ready to go out and ended up "pre-gaming" at El Torrito where I of course had my sangria.
From what I understood, the plans for that evening were that we were all, and when I say all I mean all of CEA, going to meet at La Puerta de Sol. If you can imagine though, it was a HUGE group and we were being bombarded by people giving us offers to go to their clubs. The group was too much to handle so we ended up separating away from the group. It was Matt, Colleen, Mo, Katie and I who left as a group in search of a place to go. As I preached about how much fun gay places are we stumbled upon Chueca, gay 'barrio' of Madrid. It was actually kinda funny cause I was telling Katie how I noticed many guys holding hands. Then I noticed a lot of flamboyant men. Then it all clicked: we were in Chueca. We ended up going to this club called Longshot or Longplay, can't remember, but it was alot of fun.
It was so nice to be able to hang out with such good people and have a great time. That night was the beginning of a tight bond we now have. The night ended with us leaving the club and having to run around the Plaza looking for a bathroom. I had to pee so badly and Colleen was in more desperate need. Not to mention it was like 5 am and both Matt and Katie were on little sleep. So we cabbed it home and went to bed.
