Aves sin nido

I woke up this morning on a mission to finish my homework. I didn't have time last night because I went out to dinner with two friends from Los Estados and ate dark chocolate postres long into the night. I had to read a chapter of the book "Aves sin nido" (Birds without a nest), which was on my computer screen. But when I opened it, the internet wouldn't work and I lost the link. I decided to go out and find the book at this little book exchange shop in a forgotten corner of a cathedral. I took the bus there, which is actually a van smaller than that of my parents transporting at least 20 people at any given time. They didn't have it. So I ran around the Plaza de Armas looking for librerias dodging the hecklers and massage therapists flapping their brochures and restaurant menus at me. Nobody had the book. I ran down the Avenida del Sol, which is long and hot, stopped for a parade that was going down the street, and then continued for about 20 minutes until I came to SBS books. It was a nice, large book store and I was sure they had it. I asked the man and when he said "no tenemos" I yelled "NOOOOOO!" and he looked at me funny. Down the street, around a dangerously busy corner, after two more bookstores, I came to La Familia Libreria. I was sweaty, out of breath, speaking half Spanish, half gasp. And when the woman said that they had the book in stock, I nearly kissed her. I think she saw that I could have kissed her because she stepped back behind the counter and it was awkward for a minute. Anyway, I got the book, and another of short stories and comics, and then went back to my house. When I got there, I found that mi padre had purchased the same book for me at 10% of the price.
