Day Tripping - Sitges

Paella and Cava Sangria 

Kiki and her mum Dawn visiting from Wales

Sitges is a small little town just south of Barcelona. It was a great day when we went to visit, as it was raining in Barcelona but not in Sitges. Kiki's mother Dawn came to visit in Barcelona for a few days and as Wednesday is usually Family day out for my friends so on Wednesday the 8th of June the Family Day Out was a trip to Sitges. It was nice just walking around enjoying the beautiful architectural, the little cafes then some cava strawberry sangria and paella. Thanks girls for a wonderful family day out.

Home Sweet Home.

Just a few photos taken from around the area that I'm living in Barcelona. The note at the bottom was part of a display with lots of notes in all different languages and with drawings as well which i thought was great so i had to take a photo of it.
Oh and the one of the dark alley, it wasn't really that dark it was just cause i was standing in the sun when i took this photo. 

Day One, Madrid

Puerta Del Sol taken from inside the Vodafone shop.

Looking down the street from my hostel dorm room.

looking in the other direction from my dorm room.

There was always music playing around Puerta Del Sol

Pistachio ice cream. Had to have some.

So I know I'm a bit late on the posts for Madrid but these are the first photo's i took. There are a lot more to come, but its been busy and by the time I stop I just want to crash. Which i want to do right now.

Madrid is daunting, as I haven't done something as crazy as move to a country that doesn't have English as its first language. But I like what i have seen so far. People are openly affectionate and they dress very well. The sun doesn't go down till 9:30 so it's easy to loose track of time at night, and the food and sangria is delicious. So Buenas Noches and i'll post more tomorrow.

Hasta Luego America!

Well I'm traveling to Spain today in 6 hours with a stop over in Dallas, Texas. I'm very excited but also nervous at the same time. I'm not so good at flying. I tend to suffer from anxiety but I love to travel so I just deal with it. Mostly through alcohol. 
I have had a great time in Phoenix and will miss everyone here. I have felt very welcomed and loved by the people i have had the pleasure of meeting and also from the people i have know a long time that live here. 
So i'll say see you later and i'll send postcards.  
By the way today just happens to be Cinco De Mayo so maybe i'll drink margaritas at the airport to help celebrate.
