Barcelona

HOLA ESTOY EN BARCELONA.

I flew in at 6:45am today. I haven’t slept, and my AirBnb is preeeeetty gross, so I’ve been wandering around the city since I arrived.

It’s weird being here. It feels like vacation rather than my new life, but that’s to be expected.

I’ve already learned that espresso and coffee con leche are the two things people get at cafes. I also learned that coffee con leche is both delicious and dangerous because I’m pretty sure the “leche” is just full fat cream.

I learned of a carajillo, which is espresso with a shot of anise liquor, which I’ll be trying tomorrow for breakfast. Croissants here are a little more yellow, and the people don’t speak as much English as I was led to believe.

Day one, babyyyyy. My plug-in adapter doesn’t work so everything is a little scary. THIS is livin.

The most appropriate thing for me to tackle this week is easing myself into all the newness.

“*Be gentle & kind today. Show self-control, joy & peace.”

I can’t be 100% sure, but I’m 99% sure this was another Revolve Girl thing. It’s just so pure.

It’s also totally valid when at this current moment I’m between a rock and hard place wanting so badly to go to sleep for 12 hours but not wanting to be inside my airbnb. The toilet is in the shower. So just gentle nurturing as this jet lag settles down and I come to terms with the sewer smell in the house.

Couldn’t you use a lil gentle nurturing too???

I’m also going to take on another Christian album because in the stream of nurturing myself I finally decided to pay for Spotify and can now listen to endless songs about the Lord’s love reigning down on us.

I’m going for Out of Eden’s This is Your Life. So far the most I know about it is they sing a lot about how people think they’re party girls but they’re really just living it up for G-O-D.

Anyway, I have streets to wander, so follow my instagram for updates on this absolutely batshit crazy decision I made to travel Europe for a year.

Wish me luck this week and wish extra hard that I don’t get a foot fungus or some other shower/toilet related issue.
