This is the town where Dali lived and worked. It is mystical but sometimes the wind drives people crazy. There is a raw energy here and the land is in constant battle with the sea. I was there during the full moon and the light along with the wind was intense. Being with friends was a treat.

Southern Spain, the home of flamenco and religious processions during Semana Santa. Rachel and I bunked at Mama Judy’s casa and it was a week of tapas, tinto verano, and good conversations. Thanks Judy!

Just breath, life is interesting, I am always learning and relearning. I wonder and ponder and then inhale. It’s been a hectic day here in my Barcelonean life, teaching English (yep I’ve got a job!!) one on one. I enjoy the adventure and income, I also get tired of the metro with it’s mixed bag of people, sights and smells. I get to bike though twice a week! It’s almost December and that means I’ll have been here about two plus months, and I’ll turn 34, wow. I am still adjusting to the Big city of Barcelona but I am feeling better here and enjoying the art scene, it’s the Contemporary Art Festival this week and I am going to openings all week, yippee! I also have been painting in preparation for a holiday sale a few friends and I are planning.
Other than that, not much sight seeing, I have loads to still explore but have been primarily doing the day to day stuff, just now in Barcelona!
Love and abrazotes!

Musings in Barcelona…. At first I was surprised at how much of a city it
is here, overwhelmed and a bit lost I pondered the idea of going home. I
tried to sleep, soak it in and explore a little every day. I have to say I
am feeling much better now as I can pretty much find my way around. I have
met a few good people, am taking a yoga class and now avidly searching for a
job (any tips are welcome!). I am painting a little too but once I settle in
I know that I will feel more inspired. A few things I have loved so far: the
olives (yummy), not having a car and biking or walking everywhere, having
the ocean a few blocks away, the twisting small cobblestone streets, and
amigas.

It’s been a week since my arrival to Barcelona and I feel like I’ve seen a small portion of what this city will show me. My senses are alert and like a sponge I soak it all in:

Doors slamming
Hollers
The breeze
Motorcycle engines
Horns
Bangs
Smell:
Salt
Pizza burning
Smog
Stone
Piss
Sun
Rain
Sea
Maps
See:
Ancient buildings crammed together
Kohl lined eyes
Stencil street art
Modern gypsy style
People from everywhere and allover
Maps
Metro
Menus in Catalan
Very narrow streets
Street signs on buildings
Taste:
Olives
Sweet port
Machango cheese
Exhaust
Baguette
Figs in chocolate
Feel:
Damp
Rough
Oily
Milky
Leathery
Clean
Dirty
Dark
