Digging Whitley, found him via an australia festival lineup that Will showed me last night.
Warning: this is going to be an honest blog.
Barcelona has not proven to be my most favorite trip, for many reasons I suppose. In all honesty I am truly having a hard time fitting in. I used to think I had no problem making friends but I really just feel out of loop here. Hopefully things get better.
Will gave me a nice bit of advice today. He told me just to focus on the fact that I get to have some me time. I mean really there are a lot of good things here, I have definitely had fun at times and there are some good people. Just for the most part I spend my time alone and for those of you who know me personally, I am not really an alone person, I love my friends :)
Will, is right though. This is one of the last times I will travel alone (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET HIM BE RIGHT!) and I need to make the best of it.
Here are some things I am totally loving.
-Dinner with my host parents. It is always interesting and I love trying to figure out what they are saying to me. They only speak spanish. Well y Catalan.
-Wandering the streets is great, as long as there is no rain.
-The beach es muy bonita.
-Cafe sin leche. All of the coffee here is so good!
- A couple of nice people who I hang out with when we can get in contact...
-My ipod. Especially the mix from Will. Without the ipod I would certainly already be headed home.
- Neat buildings and streets and people and funny dogs and fountains and cervesarias and dancing and yep.
Things i don't like.
-blisters
-mean people
-pick pockets
-aggressive try to rape people pickpockets
-gossip
-early mornings
-being lost for a past the fun part amount of time
-lost luggage
-being lonely
-having no one to joke around with most of the time
-having a hard time communicating and not being able to hang out with the couple of people who are nice.
-weird bumps on my fingers (I always get something weird like that when I travel!)
-feeling like I am old
Ok enough with the negative.
Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to run through it like I have a big kite and take on the city.
does that make sense or at least sound like tons of fun to anyone else but me?
besos,
Chels
