Madrid: hasta luego

<p>

My stay in Madrid has come to an end and I'm currently sitting at Ralf
Treinen's place in Paris.  I had a pretty good time in Madrid.  Basically,
I just did the usual stuff (i.e., too much Debian, too little work for my
research) but there are a number of nice guys in the group I was working in
and we had lots of fun.

Earlier this week, we went to Teo's place who has this massive swimming
pool.  He recently organized a BBQ, which was good as well, with lots of
Sangria... A few weeks ago, Diego (at whose place I stayed), Alvaro and his
cute girlfried Yaiza went bowling.  It was really good fun and it turned
out that Diego is a real master, scoring several strikes after each other!

Now that summer is coming, a number of people are leaving for other places.
Israel went to Canada for three months a few weeks ago, Gregorio left for
the UK a few days ago and my stay is over too.  Overall I had a pretty good
time, even though I'm not particularly happen that I didn't manage to go to
the beach once even though I was in Spain for three months...

The last time I was here at Ralf's place in Paris was just before DebConf1
in Bordeaux in 2001, which feels like eons ago.  Anyway, I'm heading out to
take a look at Notre Dame.
