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.
