We have been in Barcelona one day and it is incredibly beautiful city filled with heavenly architecture and a nice calm sense of "if it doesn´t get done today, there is always tomorrow." The bakeshop windows are piled high with crossiants and doughnuts which taunt me at every turn and tempt me to break my gluten free diet just once, but an accidental ingestion of some croutons in soup in Dublin cured me of any notion of purposely eating wheat. I just tell myself they look and smell better than they taste. Argh.
Although it is raining today, Catalonia has been suffering from a drought of sorts and I am glad for them that the rain seems to be falling in steady streams. For someone who has traveled to so many places I fear I came ill prepared for all the walking and although I love my hi top converse they are proving less than worthy travel companions. My feet are unhappy, but still we trudge on. Perhaps a purchase of shoes or a handbag may cheer me up.
I heard yesterday that, unfortunately I was not given a place in the UNITE program in Chicago. I am disappointed, but more practical about things and figure all is for the best. I will find a job and build a life and figure it all out. At least I am moving to a new city, into a fabulous new apartment and get to spend everyday with my best friend, someone I have only seen for a week or two every three or four months. Niall is convinced Steph will kill me sooner rather than later for some cleaning related infraction. I am hoping not.
Am starting to miss everyone and sad that not more of you have written me. Its weird to write this because it feels as if it is just one big email to anyone who knows the address of this webpage, but in actuality there could be no one at all out there. Except Jen and Prue who I know have been reading, thanks and keep sending me news.
Tomorrow off to Tossa and a castle on the beach.
Adios!
