I am leaving Barcelona, and I have done a TERRIBLE job of blogging to keep the memories. I've tried over the last couple of weeks to capture moments here and there, and it must be left somewhere!
The things that stand out over the last few months....

Can't even begin to describe this trip...East meets West in the most incredible city I’ve ever visited. Not only do you feel the force of modernity and history on every corner, but this breath taking, sprawling town is a testament of what this planet could be like if we figured out how to co-exist, instead of coming up with new ways to kill each other. The potential is incredible.
Living in Europe was always my dream. And now I’ve done it - I’ve lived in Europe - but I don’t feel like I fulfilled the dream. Despite completely totally embracing the ex-pat lifestyle, something still feels beyond my reach. Maybe I thought living in Europe would make me a European. Or surely, marrying one would make me so - but clearly that didn’t work out. So now, a little older, a little wiser, a lot fatter, I return home. In these remaining weeks I’m trying to imbibe as much Europe as possible. A cafe con leche with a ciggarette at a sidewalk cafe.
Menu del dia at a Catalan restaurant. Leisurely Sunday on the beach with lunch in the sun. Being so broke that I walk home in heels for 1.5K.
People watching - sidebar for the fact that this May’s weather seems to be rather scizophrenic, and people can’t figure out if its cold or warm out.
You have a girl in a summer dress next to a woman in boots, a scarf, and a smart denim jacket. The sun plays peekabo and the temperature fluctuates 15 degrees a day. This is my time in Barcelona, drawing to a close.
