Trying to write, but my thoughts aren't collecting into sentences. Watching French television pretending to understand. It's a beautifully filmed movie where you know disaster will strike, the good will fall, and redemption will find its way in the end. Don't need to understand the language to sense that.
Spain. I went to Spain for the first time two weekends ago. Care-free I skipped to the airport glad to be free of the kids for a record breaking four days. I didn't care what was in Spain I was just glad for a vacation! I arrived to the smiling face of my friend Erin, we had a class together back when I went to Pitt-Greensburg. We boarded the spic-and-span metro and caught each other up to date on our lives for the last few years. She and her husband live an hour outside of Madrid next to some beautiful mountains. The setting was wonderful. I immediately felt relaxed and welcomed. I didn't want the weekend to end. The food was so good, there was dancing, and I made new friends. I also decided I would much rather be studying Spanish than French. Spanish people are fun. I also came to the conclusion that in my travels I would much rather eat good food and meet the locals than take pictures of buildings and walk my feet off. Though I suppose each part has it's good side.
This past weekend I bid farewell to my two American friends. Back to the States they go making me think about how quickly time is passing here and how soon I myself will be boarding a plane back home. The life I know here will come to an end. I've gotten so used to my dishes, my small shower, the French television. I've gotten used to spending the majority of my time with a two year old. I still have five months left though and I can accomplish a lot in that time. Plenty of weekends left to spend with friends and do some traveling. Plenty of evenings remaining to cook myself a small fresh dinner, read a good book, and watch French television.
