Longing California
Just like when I went to Japan, I again disappeared for a whole month, this time to California. The flight was Madrid to New York and from there to San Diego. Right as it was landing, the first thing I was able to dicern and actually read was a big Costco sign on top of some building and I actually grinned for some reason. Being able to turn right on a red light, going to Walgreens at ungodly hours, having 24 hour supermarkets, enjoying a proper smoothie, tasting deeping dots once again.. it was all a flashback, it almost felt like a big “this is what it could be, had you stayed here”.
I don´t think I´ll ever go back to actually live again in the US though. I will definetly go back for vacationing porpuses, but while there are a lot of things that are great over there, I don´t really feel like I can´t actually do without them. It was hard leaving though. I will miss the people. I already do.
On my way back, the flight to New York went by quickly. My seat mate was this Swiss girl who was quite witty and fun to talk to, not to mention how gorgeous she was. The flight went by quickly. The one to Madrid was less than excellent, I sat next to some American guy on his way to Seville for some abroad schooling, but he seemed to be socially deficient, so I ended up ignoring him and tried to get some sleep while listening to music. It didn´t really work well since the guy was so overweight his flubber kept on leaking to the sides, creeping towards me. Ugh.
We ended up having our little Halloween party the night I got back. I´m not going to actually try and describe my costume, a picture is much better for the shock effect. Jorge seemed to like it to. :P
Anyway, this week has just been re-adjusting again with life here. I´m starting to feel better, the first three days were a bit harsh on me I should be back full-time this weekend. Hello Madrid, I missed ya!
