Kinksters in Exile

Mistress and slave have traveled from Bilbao to Santiago and now to Madrid in this last week of our journey. We absorbed the shocking news from state side in the middle of the night here like a bad dream, we would wake from in the morning.  We are still in the denial stage, avoiding mainstream media sources. But we can't avoid the howls of fear and recrimination from friends and family in our in boxes and on social media.  A soothing train ride across Spain yesterday morning with limited wifi access helped insulate us from reality a bit.

I suppose sometime on the flight home we will come to grips with the new reality, but in the meantime....we might as well enjoy our final days here on a Continent and in a country where so much worse has happened and yet the folks seem to have carved out good lives, right?

So last night we did a bit of a Ernest Hemingway pub crawl, enjoying beverages and tapas at some of his old Madrid haunts, from the days of Franco, one of the Donald's apparent role models.

And we've also stumbled on some appealing kinky images in the least likely places, like these from the Cathedral in Santiago, of an ancient threesome.  Can you spot the cuckold?

And there was this wood carving that took someone's pain and piercing fetish just a tad too far:



But what really surprised us was a gallery in the conservative old Santiago, otherwise dedicated to showcasing the unique culture of Galicia, that definitely was striking a dissonant kinky chord:

There was encasement in a cage  kink:




These strange metal restraints:




And lots of  chains too:



And while all this contemporary kink has it's odd charm, there's nothing like a little "old school" bondage to keep you grounded:


It reminds me of what I am tempted to say to my friends and family as the come to grips with the ascendance of America's new Caudillo:

"This Too Shall Pass".
