killing time so to speak


"Man comes home, finds his wife with his friend in bed .He shoots his friend and kills him.Wife says 'If you behave like this, you will lose ALL your friends"

- just a joke :)

Last Sunday was a crazy day. We finished the Alfred Dunhill Championships playing the last round at St. Andrews... one last walk through the Mecca. Then I ran to et my stuff and jump in the bus to Edimburgh airport. Plane was obviously late, so we landed in Madrid around midnight. I usually stay with these 2 guys from Argentina, but this time they didn't travel with me, so I got stuck with other "friends"... all caddies as well. Supposedly I was staying in a hostal with these 6 "friends", after one of them used all the credit I had left on my cell phone to confirm there was some room for me. But as soon as we got out of the airport, 3 of them jumped in a taxi and the other 3 in another cab... and they screamed an address to me.

Fine, I'll take the taxi on my own... problem was that the address they gave me didn't exist. Then my phone didn't work, could not recharge any credit to it. Found myself an hotel, and next morning I find out through the Internet that my card has been cloned and there are some charges made to it in New York, which blocked it thus not allowing me to credit my phone with minutes. Luckily I had some cash with me and could pay the cab and hotel... and the backpackers hostal I ended up in. I saw the caddies yesterday at the tournament this week, no one asked me anything, they just said hi like nothing happened.

Fishy...

Felipe is not playing this week in Madrid, so I went and tried to see if I could find someone without a caddie for the week, and I didn't. So as I was pondering what to do until Sunday which is the day when Felipe returns.. I get a call, and it is a friend of my brother Cristian who lives here in Madrid. We got together and he offered me to stay at his place, so I am sorted. Plus, it happened to be that my mom was here on a vacation trip with her godmother.. so I had dinner with her that she kindly invited... well, maybe my dad did.

So I'm free in Madrid!!! Ole!!
