Backpacking without Backpacks

We made it into Madrid safely and were on a roll with great seats, free red wine and small day packs to carry to the baggage claim. About 15 minutes into waiting I hear an announcement on the loud speaker calling out some names. I closed my eyes and started to pray that I wouldn´t hear... and then I hear it... Banuelos, Garcia, Olmanson... everything else was muffled but I definitely heard Olmanson. So, it turns out that both of our bags are stuck in Miami and the customer service rep. had no idea when the bags would be shipped. We didn´t have our hostel address in London so we came into the city to see some sights, find an internet cafe and phone cards. We saw the Plaza de Toros in all of it´s grandeur and finally found an internet cafe. We´re hungry and a little worried that we´ll never be reunited with our packs again but we´re on our way back to the airport now to hopefully get things back on track. Cross your fingers for us.
