Spain – Day 2

So I’m here, and still can’t believe it. It feels a bit like a dream, or a stopover on my way to something else…

The trip over was fine. Alex and Laura took me to the airport, and I avoided bursting into tears by being mostly nervous… I’m going to miss both of those ladies so so much.

The flight to Munich was long and uncomfortable, and I didn’t sleep at all – partly from nerves and partly because I rarely sleep on planes. At customs in Munich, they barely asked me anything (except to see my return ticket), and I was on my way. After some confusion at the Barcelona airport (I went to the wrong baggage claim, so I had to go back in through security and walk down to the other terminal), I made it out to find Carmen there to greet me.

The weather here is fantastic – I had lunch sitting in the sun on Carmen’s terrace (pictured above). It seems I’ve also arrived during a full moon, though I don’t know if that’s good luck or bad luck.

Today, I’m getting started for real – wandering the city, getting my bearings, and starting to figure things out…

I wonder when I will start feeling like this is truly a reality?
