“You get the limo out front (Ooh-ah-woo)
Hottest styles
every shoe, every color
Yea, when you’re famous it can be kind of fun
It’s really you, but no one ever discovers
Who would a thought that a girl like me
would double as a superstar!
You get the best of both worlds
Chillin’ out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know you that it’s the best of
both worlds,
ha ha ha”
— Miley Cyrus, from "Hannah Montana"
As much as I love taking, editing and sharing my photos, I’ll keep you waiting a little bit longer for Part Two of the Spain photo tour. I wouldn’t want you to be bored going on two tours in a row.
So, instead, I will tell you another travel story from last summer.
I didn’t know anyone living closer than 40 minutes away from me in Madrid last summer, until I met Manuel. Conveniently, she was au pairing for Eva and Anas’ best friend, who just happened to live in the same apartment complex as us. After she arrived just a week after I did, we quickly became close and ended up spending almost every day together last summer. I was so lucky to have her.
Neither of us had ever been to Barcelona (and I wasn’t coming home from my second summer in Spain not having visited Barca), so we decided to spend a weekend there. We had a really fun time, until it was time to fly back to Madrid on Sunday evening.
If you’ve been to Spain in the summertime, you know how hot it gets. And it really doesn’t rain in most parts, either. After living there for two consecutive summers, it drizzled once or twice. That’s it.
Most Spaniards are notorious for not having air conditioning, and if they do, they only turn it on in the peak afternoon heat.
Hola a todos // Hi everyone,
These last few weeks have drastically impacted all of our lives, causing us to take pause and adapt.
While I did put my blog on pause during my spring break — which then turned into ~extended~ spring break, which ultimately turned into ~don’t come back to school, and finish the rest of your last semester of college online~ break — I am back to tell you more travel stories! Even though no one is traveling right now, I hope that my blog continues to bring you a little bit of joy or give you a laugh during this time of uncertainty.
. . . and we didn’t have a good experience with her cab driver.
