santiago's chaos and calm: a sleep-deprived musings

just stumbled out of the hostel and santiago's buzzing with this weird grey drizzle that feels like the sky forgot its job hope you like that sort of thing stumbled into a tiny hostel near praza do obradoiro where the walls are all peeling paint and history some local drunk at the bar hissed 'this city steals your rhythm and spits out poetry' which honestly tracks because i haven't slept since i got here the neighbors? nah i'd rather get lost in the narrow streets than drive anywhere but if you're craving more chaos ourense's barely a train ride away found this courtyard where sunlight slants through arches like liquid gold checked my watch and realized i've been walking for three hours without noticing which is weird because usually i'm counting breaths but here i'm counting cobblestones instead stumbled on a cafe that serves coffee so dark it feels like a warm hug but also side-eyeing me maybe check out tripadvisor for this spot it's probably packed with influencers but whatever the vibe here is hypnotic and i heard the hostel across the street has rats that throw tiny house parties at midnight which might just be the local legend you need to hear

the weather's doing that thing where it's neither here nor there just...there right now i just checked and hope you like that sort of thing if you're craving more buzz ourense's barely a skip over the border ended up at this plaza where an old man plays bagpipes in a corner and it's strangely hypnotic maybe check out yelp for screams_of_cafe_santiago it's probably full of influencers but whatever the vibe here is hypnotic and i heard the cathedral's crypt has a ghost who complains about tourists taking selfies but who knows check out tripadvisor's santiago guide for more chaos or you might prefer the locals-only board on facebook called santiago_back_alley_secrets
