Talked to the girls today, & they had quite a story to tell. They'd managed to lock themselves out of their apartment last night and since the owner is away on vacation and there's no portera, they had to wait around for a neighbor to appear so they could explain their problem. The neighbors did everything they could think of to help the girls break into their apartment, but nothing worked (good to know). So the neighbors called their friend over, who is a firefighter. The fireman tried a couple tricks of his own, but to no avail. Then he sent for his son, who's about 7 or 8 years old. The kid shows up with some rope and a harness. Everyone goes up to the apartment just above the girls' apt. The owners let them in, and the kid gets in the harness and his dad lowers him out of the window onto the terrace of the girls' apartment. Luckily the terrace door is open, so the kid just walks into the house and opens the front door for them. Of course the girls were completely mortified that they'd caused these people so much trouble, but at the same time it goes to show that some Spaniards will go to great lengths to help a sister (or two) out. How cool is that?!
Was going to go to a museum today, but I haven't gotten around to it. Fell asleep on the couch for a while, now am making lunch. Should probably just stay home & do some work anyway...god that sounds boring. Sigh.
That is an awesome story.
