After the insanity of running around pscyho-loca in Paris, this weekend was a pleasant surprise.
We moseyed over to Madrid, Wednesday, met up with Adorably Awesome Ana (our couch surfer for the night) and museumed, ate and sat in parks. Which was fantastic.
Once again, the contemporary art museum took the cake for me, leading me to believe that I may, very well, be into contemporary art! Whoddaknewit?
But mostly I loved not having to rush around, being around amazingly loving people and relaxing in lovely parks. The leaves turning were no Appalachian Autumn, but they were falling and bright yellows and oranges...
Now I am in Lisbon, which has awesome things to offer, but I'm waiting in my absolutely sick hostel (Living Lounge -- very artsy, clean and modern and cheap if you visit here -- my first hosteling experience!) for my travel buddies to wake up.
I have a ton of work to do before Greece and such but right now I am just trying to enjoy the fact that in 3 weeks I'm hitting:
Marseille, Montpellier, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Nice, Geneva, Milan, Venice, Patra, Athens.
Fan-friggin-tasty.
Too bad I'm missing Ani though in Barca. Not like I had the bank to throw down for her lovely self.
I hope you are well!

I miss you very much... often push the button on my bluetooth to call you - realizing that you are not in the states, I hang up and smile, as though someone else knew that I had made the mistake again... and I promise to write my thoughts down so that you don't miss anything, at all... but I forget! It is o.k., though, because you sound like you are experiencing the best time of your life... I am so glad for you!!
love,
mom
Ah man! I love and miss you too lady!
