<br />
Perhaps he was drunk on applause and attention, or maybe he was drunk on green wine (actually, upon further review...that was probably us...) Whatever the case, he spilled the beans on the capes:<br />
<br />
"The capes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are for school!" He informed us that upper-classmen wear the capes, and help lead the new students through the traditions of the schools. They will also chant, sing and perform. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Then, he looked off into the distance and pined, "</span>Some day, I wish to wear the cape...”<o:p></o:p></div>

I felt his pain, and wistfully replied: “Someday, I wish to wear the cape, too!”<br />

Although upon further reflection, it was likely the booze.<br />
<br />
The next day was, sadly, our last day not only in Porto, but on the Spain in the Ass journey.<br />

For our final meal, we ate near the water...<br />

After hitting my head more than once, I took a nice, long, four hour nap.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although when I woke up and hit my head again, I wondered if perhaps it wasn’t so much a nap as it was a coma.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Either way, by the time I got up, it was well into the night, and John had arrived on his later flight, so we decided to check out what the Lisbon gay scene has to offer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As it turns out, the gay scene has cocaine to offer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were grabbing a bite on the way to the gayborhood™ when I noticed two seedy looking gentlemen hovering around outside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naturally, I instantly fell in love with them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They finally made eye contact and calmly, casually asked if we wanted cocaine. They were pretty brazen about it, so at that moment, I obviously thought I misheard them. Surely they weren’t just asking us if we wanted cocaine!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I asked them to clarify. Because why wouldn't I keep talking to the drug dealers in a strange land?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They did, in fact, offer us cocaine, which we politely declined. Once we got to the bars, we discovered that this wasn't just a freak occurrence. Here, we were offered cocaine more times than I’ve ever been offered it in my life. Which wasn’t really that hard, I guess, considering I don’t think anyone’s ever offered me cocaine. Ever.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, thanks Lisbon, but I’d rather get my high the old-fashioned way…<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
For those of you following closely, my intense, white-hot fear of dolls should come as no surprise. The last Road Trip blog had a visit to <a href="http://scandalnavia2014.blogspot.com/2014/05/island-of-misfit-toys-or-dolls-and-guys.html" target="_blank">a doll museum</a> off an island in Finland, which was insanely upsetting--and my terror can be traced back to my very first road trip, when<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92053219@N00/12885594/" target="_blank"> a certain doll and I got into a fight.</a> (A fight which, for the record, continues to this very day.)<br />
<br />
But here in Lisbon, part of me thought that since the dolls were not in one piece, that maybe they'd be less frightening.<br />
<br />
I was gravely mistaken.<br />
<br />
The only thing scarier than dolls, as it turns out, is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD9xK9smth4" target="_blank">parts of dolls.</a><br />

Because gaaaaay.<br />
<br />
I had already been to a bar called Gris on a solo mission, but John had was unconscious. He seemed to be feeling better, so we decided to behave like the local Madridians and began our night at 2AM.<br />

Obviously, this was a great choice.</div>
<br />
John and I had no real plan--the information available online was confusing and annoying; A lot of people have a lot of opinions about a lot of things--and bitchy gay dudes bitching about gay bars is apparently an international pastime.<br />
<br />
We opted to just head to the gay-borhood without a plan and just sort of see what trouble we could find.<br />
<br />
As John and I were yapping away taking in the sights...<br />

...two very large young guys approached us and asked us, in English, where we were going.<br />
<br />
I immediately panicked. Were they pickpockets? Kidnappers? Or worse--<i>club promoters?!</i><br />

<br />
John told them we weren't sure where we were going, while I responded in my normal fashion when confronted with danger: Avoid eye contact and walk faster. But because they were incredibly tall, one normal step for them were like five of mine, so I'm not sure if they even noticed that I was trying to run away.<br />
<br />
The two potential Spanish Bandits were trying their best to act friendly--asking where we were from and what we were doing in Madrid. Harmless chatter to the untrained eye...but I sensed this was a more sinister ploy to figure out how long it would be until someone realized we were missing. <br />
<br />
They told us that they both lived in LA at one point, though one was Venezuelan (he lives in Madrid now) and the other was visiting from New York--but is originally from Mexico.<br />
<br />
I began to suspect that we were dealing with highly sophisticated international organ thieves.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
When they heard that we didn't know where to go in Madrid, they offered to take us to their favorite bars. Obviously we were dealing with sociopaths.<br />
<br />
We followed them into the first bar they recommended, and the Tall Ones began to enact their plan almost instantly. "Let's go somewhere else," they shouted angrily. Well, I assume angrily--it was quite loud... and while it was entirely possible they were yelling because it's the only way we'd hear them...I think it's safe to say they were agitated.<br />
<br />
Frightened, we agreed and left with them. I took a look around the place, wondering if any of these people would remember seeing us leaving with the Gigantés when our missing persons posters started to pop up all over town.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
On our way to the next bar, I flat out asked: "Are you guys murderers?" I just wanted to know, and I figured if we were all on the same page, perhaps they would show us mercy. <br />
<br />
Luis the Venezuelan simply laughed and said: "Have you ever seen Dexter?" <br />
<br />
Oh god.<br />
<br />
I was trying to conserve power on my phone in case I ended up in a trunk somewhere, so there aren't a lot of photos of the night.<br />
<br />
I did manage to take one of the Venezuelan during one of our stops...<br />

<br />
Around 3:30AM, the Marauding Matadors planned their next move: An After Hours Club.<br />
<br />
Now, I normally wouldn't follow two strangers anywhere, let alone to a second, third or, in this case, unprecedented fourth location. <br />
<br />
But we were drunk and, frankly, looking forward to death. (At least I was...)<br />
<br />
They lured us out of the bar and took us down a super quiet street--all as I held tightly onto the key to the AirBNB apartment. If they were going to attack, I was going to stab the stab right out of their eyes!<br />
<br />
We entered the mysterious club, where Spanish pop music was blasting. They ordered drinks for us--including water "to stay hydrated." <br />
<br />
And while he didn't say "...during our long torture session," I think it was clear to everyone within earshot that's what he meant.<br />
<br />
At one point, a person came over to hit on the Venezuelan, who shooed him away, saying "I am not here to flirt, I'm here to hang out with my friends!" His other, taller friend agreed: "We love you guys!"<br />
<br />
I've never been more frightened in my life.<br />
<br />
The rest of the night is kind of a blur, but John and I did manage to escape--though we are both clearly traumatized by the incident.<br />
<br />
Luckily, we're safely out of Madrid now and in Seville...where more perils await!<br />

Now, this is not a food blog. And I fully understand that no one really cares what I'm eating.<br />
<br />
But HOLY CRAP. These chocolate churros are insanity.<br />

It is, by far, the best thing I've put in my mouth in Madrid.<br />

And I'm somewhat of an expert, since I've been eating everything under the sun...<br />

(Sorry, everyone.)<br />
<br />
Anyway...now to the idiot portion of our stay in Madrid.<br />
<br />
Donna decided that she wanted to ship some stuff back to the states. So, we found a Mail Boxes Etc kind of near us. (Apparently, they are still in business in Spain.) The plan was for Donna, John and I to drop her shit off and then go out for tapas and drinks and enjoy the day.<br />
<br />
And then tragedy struck.<br />

<br />
We got to the address, and there was no MBE there. The cab driver pulled over and we hopped out of the car, hoping it was just hidden somewhere. You know, since businesses often like to keep their locales secret. <br />
<br />
And then tragedy struck again.<br />

As we were getting out of the cab, John cut his finger on the door handle and nearly sliced his finger off. There was a lot of blood...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Obviously, instead of seeking medical attention, we stopped (and bled upon) a handsome UPS driver and tried to convince him to just give us a box and a label and take it away...<br />

<br />
Dejected, we began to wander the streets looking for medical attention for John, who was beginning to get woozy. <br />
<br />
Suddenly, we heard a ruckus behind us.<br />
<br />
It was the UPS driver again, running toward us. Apparently, he used the trail of blood from John's sliced open finger to track us down.<br />
<br />
He gave us a phone number to call, and then ran off like a superhero.<br />

We didn't call the number, instead opting to walk aimlessly in the hopes of finding a place to ship her items.<br />
<br />
We finally found a place that wanted to charge nearly 250 Euros to ship a very small pretty light weight box to the States.<br />
<br />

Obviously, we don't want to be with any of the riff-raff. Of course, as I got up to get some snacks, I was treated with this nightmare sitting just a few rows away:</div>

And so went all of my hopes for a restful, nap-filled train ride. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spent most of the 3+ Hours trying to figure out how that thing got on the train, and where it's luggage was. (I assumed it was carrying a lot of murder weapons. Because look at it.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Anyway, once Donna and I ran screaming from the train station, we were stunned into silence by the sight of two big fat baby heads sitting there, as if that was ok.</div>

For the record, we would have walked had we realized that the place was six blocks away...but baby heads were harassing us and we had to make a quick getaway. So stop judging us.</div>

Donna and I are sad that we have to say adios to Barcelona, so quickly after we arrived. The last few days have just flown by. But now, it's time to head to Madrid.<br />
<br />
This afternoon we hopped on a train, in Spain, after the rain last night. (No, really.)<br />
<br />
But there's a few things we need to discuss about Barcelona before the blog enters its next chapter.<br />
<br />
And no, we're not going to talk about the delicious and delightful tapas we've been eating every single day...<br />
<br />

There was even a hill!!!</span></span><br />

I swear. Just hang in there, buddies.)</i><br />
<br />
Everywhere you go in Barcelona, the structures are unbelievable, and they have been around since the early 1100's. Also, I didn't pay attention to any of the information given to me during any of the tours. So my facts may be a little off. <br />
<br />
Anyway, we wandered around and found the Gaudi museum...<br />

<br />
And for the record-- these messages al totallyl worked on me, for I have never smoked weed in my entire life...<br />
<br />
But I still have the paranoia down, because I'm pretty sure this dude was watching me the entire time I was in there.<br />

<br />
<br />
...but otherwise, it was great.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the perils of weed...my sister spent most of the day convinced that today was her only full day in Barcelona. Therefore, I spent most of my day convinced of this as well. After all, she did plan this entire trip.<br />
<br />
But, it has since come to our attention that we don't actually leave Barcelona until Saturday.<br />
<br />
And so, we have more Barcelona to come. I'm sure you're thrilled.<br />

...and a lot dirtier. <br />
<br />
For those of you who are unaware, here's a brief recap of her Journey to Barce-HELL-ona:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A worldwide disruption to the British Air check in system sets her initial flight out of San Diego back four hours. This is what we in "the biz" call a "vagaster."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Upon arriving in London for their layover, Donna and Val are told that they have missed their connection (unsurprising, since they were FOUR. HOURS. LATE.) They are given a hotel for the night. They are not given their luggage. "It will take hours to find. Pip, Pip!" the British air rep was quoted as saying.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Donna and Val sleep for approximately 30 seconds, before getting up and heading back to Heathrow. They have to put back on the same clothing they've been wearing since San Diego. They may need to book extra seats for the clothes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Donna tries to re-book the car that was supposed to pick them up when they landed in Barcelona. Donna is told no car will be waiting for her when she arrives. She did not ask for a reason, for she has given up.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A full 18 hours after their scheduled arrival time, Donna and Val land in Barcelona. Donna's luggage, however, is still traveling. She is told that it will be arriving on a flight that lands in 3 hours. 11 hours later, it still has not shown up.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">She sobs and asks why I am tormenting her. I tell her it's because her tears are all she has left to wash her smelly face with. And then I laugh and laugh.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>She and I walk around for a while, exploring the city. Well, I was exploring the city; she was stinking up the joint. Donna begins to limp because the shoes she wore were great for sitting on a plane...but not so much for the walking, as it turns out. Here's a picture of what they don't look like:</li>

<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Her real shoes are in her luggage. Probably somewhere near the Dharma hatch.</span></i></div>
<ul>
<li>We try to get back to the hotel, but the pedestrian bridge is closed. We have to go a million miles out of the way to go back. Donna is leaving a trail of blood wherever we roam.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Donna would like to shower and burn the clothes she's been wearing for more than 70 hours. But she has nothing else to wear. She borrows a t-shirt from me. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Donna also borrows a pair of underwear from me, because we have no boundaries. Or shame, apparently. Now we are both perishing. Photos of this will not be included in the blog...</li>

We ate our faces off and had some wine and now it's time for sleep, since tomorrow is now officially Donna's only full day in Barcelona. </div>

<div>
And we have some drinking to do.</div>
<div>

***UPDATE: Donna's luggage arrived @ 1AM. A full 11 hours after she did--and a full 29 hours after it was supposed to. Good job, team! </div>

<div>
Hopefully she'll keep my underwear. </div>

<br />
They are currently spending the night in London, and won't actually be joining me in Barcelona until tomorrow at some point. (Although I suspect they'll continue to be F'd.) <br />
<br />
They at least get to spend the night in a hotel in London. So...that's something. Right?<br />

Remember that time Donna planned an entire trip, and I was the only one who got to actually participate? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I took full advantage of my day alone in Barcelona: The City That Got Me Drunk.™</div>
<br />
I've always wondered what it would feel like to travel internationally alone. Would I perish? Would I be bored? And most importantly, would I see any matador ass? I searched for answers to my many questions...<br />

<br />
<br />
...but I found none.<br />
<br />
I started wandering the streets of Barcelona, mourning the loss of my sister. It's these moments of solitude that make you wonder: What does life even mean?<br />
<br />
I searched everywhere for the key to my heart...<br />

<br />
<br />
...alone..<br />

<br />
...I couldn't get rid of the sense of melancholy filled my heart--NO! my <i>SOUL! </i> If anything it seemed to be weighing on me more and more, getting louder and louder and louder. My god, it was deafening. <br />
<br />
And then I realized what it was... <br />

...led me to worry that perhaps I had made a huge mistake.<br />
<br />
However, it's a Tuesday night, I'm not sure where else to go, and, most importantly--they have KIWI MOJITOS on the menu. So how bad could it be?<br />
<br />
There's even fresh mint on the bar...<br />

<br />
...which the 11 year old bartender used to make my delicious drink. And also the next three-to-five thousand delicious drinks.<br />
<br />
Things started to get a little hazy when the Spanish version of TEQUILA started. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
That's about the time the French couple next to me went insane, dancing and singing along. Upon seeing me laugh at their antics, they struck up a conversation, and assured me that these were the best mojitos in the land. I wasn't prepared to disagree.<br />
<br />
I also wasn't prepared for when one of the bartenders came up to us, counted to three in Spanish, and apparently instructed his co-worker to give us three shots of caramel-flavored booze.<br />
<br />

<br />
It filled me with caramel-flavored happiness. It also filled me with happiness to learn that this couple met five years ago at my favorite bar in Paris--Freedj, which was featured on <a href="http://stabbeyroadtrip.blogspot.com/2011/06/une-encore-buvez.html" target="_blank">Stabbey Road Trip!</a><br />
<br />
So after all of this, I learned a very important lesson about myself tonight.<br />
<br />
Who needs a sister when there is caramel flavored booze...<br />

<br />
Jeff here, about to embark on another international journey of drunken ridiculousness! This time, it's a family affair, with my sister Donna and some of her friends bouncing in and out of this mess of a trip.<br />
<br />
Donna has been planning this trip for a million years, and I'm simply tagging along to observe, mock and drink about it. Think of this as a blog-u-mentary.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Except don't do that at all, because that's just dumb.)</span><br />
<br />
As usual, naming the blog is just as big an adventure as the actual blog... often with just as much booze.<br />

<br />
Anyway, there were a few early contenders, none of which had the pizzazz of Spain in the Ass. <br />
<br />
Things like "Spain-cation" and "Spain-al Probe" just weren't cutting it, especially since we aren't just going to Spain--we're heading to Portugal as well! But, as it turns out, Portugal isn't super-easy to incorporate into a clever or creative title, so we were left with things like this:<br />

Growing up, our parents had a giant velvet painting of a matador hanging above the sofa in the living room. Looking back at it as an adult, I'm struck by just how much man-ass there was in my every day life. I literally would stare at it for hours on end. But that's a discussion best left for my therapist. </div>

Either way, I'm in Barcelona now. And since Donna and her friend Val were stuck in the ongoing <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/london-city-airport-delays_us_57ce8af6e4b078581f13c423" target="_blank">issue</a> with British Airways' massive outage...<br />

...it looks like I may get to nap! Lame? Maybe...but I've just spent 17 hours traveling. So, screw off. Also, did I mention Val was on the news? </div>

As for me? I'll be on the SNOOZE.<br />
