Madrid with the Dresky

This weekend i went to madrid to visit my cousin drew who was in the midst of traveling the world. Pretty cool, i guess. 

Thank god i stalked his Facebook pictures or it would have been a very awkward family reunion when i got off that metro stop looking for my clean shaven cousin and have him be standing in front of me the whole time. He has a beard that would make people question him when he gets on planes. My nickname for him when i would describe him to my friends and who we were going to meet up with was "my terrorist cousin." not a very endearing nickname but it sure fit the description. got to stick with the times, people. lumberjack drew was so 21st century.

we decided that it had been 2 years since we've seen each other. I figured this  was true because he went the whole weekend without trying to drown me and i went the whole weekend without pinching him and running away.  we reminensed as any cousins would who's family thinks its normal to not give any information about each other at all ever. It was actually quite a kick going back and forth trying to see if one of us had more information than the other. for instance, i learned that my uncle tim has a brother. he learned that our grandma shirly used to be our grandpa's english teacher. I learned that he graduated college. He learned that i was a twin. We are both still waiting to learn if there are any additions to the family that no one has bothered to inform us of or if we may had any extra toes or limbs when we were born.
