I wasn’t sure what to title this one. This is a rather odd reflection today but I have come to the unusual realisation that I feel like I am becoming acostumbrada a life here in Madrid and that makes me feel rather on edge. I feel like it’s okay to feel a bit unsettled but when you start getting used to something, not because you love it but because that’s your new life, it’s kind of sad.
This weekend we went to Valencia, despite some rather horrific news articles listing several deaths on account of terrible weather conditions. I have formed a little friendship group of some lovely girls from around the globe, one from the Netherlands, another from Mexico, another from Canada and the last from New Zealand and it is both a delightful and interesting mix. We went to the beach although it was quite different to expectations where we were greeted with a red flag beach and sand in every orifice known to man. But overall, the weekend was good fun. We even went to the biggest aquarium in Europe which was pretty impressive to be fair.
I’ve sort of formed a weekly routine and having a routine minus Jamie forming any real life part of it is both daunting and saddening but we are of course very much in contact which warms my heart.
Hablamos pronto xoxo
