This is for the sole fact that I still have a crapload of amazing pictures (and videos) from Madrid. I needed to share them for the sake of my sanity. Not really... but all the same. And yes, the picture on the left IS a picture of a storefront with my last name posted on it. Pretty wicked, righ'? Yeah, I thought so. Let me explain why: my name hails from the spanish word for Morocco, "Marruecos" (thank you google translate) because a Basque knight took a very long trip there and came back with the nickname, "El Marroquin". Eventually it stuck and became a last name. Marroquinerias are shops where you can buy various items made out of moroccan leather. Yeah. Awesome. :)Wednesday, October 26, 2011
