Well, some time has passed and I am now in Barcelona! My old home... it is so odd coming back to a place where you once lived and were intimately familiar with after being gone for a few years. I feel like I remember everything perfectly, but in reality, time changes things quite a bit. It's very strange. Still, I feel great being back and love automatically knowing my way around and where I want to go while I'm here. I also don't have the nagging feeling that I have to do more, see more, get to all the sights in just a few days because I have already seen them all, and if I don't see them one more time I'm not worried.
So I started out in Paris, then went to Lisbon, then Porto, then Salamanca, and now I am here. I am just 10 days into my trip and it already feels like forever in some ways, but it feels like time is flying in others. Lisbon was my favorite stop so far. I couldn't believe how amazing it was. Such a cute city, easy to navigate, and a wonderful atmosphere. I stayed in the most amazing hostel ever - Oasis Backpackers Mansion. They have a bar where I got 2 euro mojitos during happy hour (only 3 euro regularly), and a home cooked meal for 5. The meals were the best. They were better than I EVER eat at home, much less while traveling, and for so cheap! I ate there every night, and loved it. I could have stayed there for weeks.
Now, I'm off for a much needed siesta.
