planes outta town

the trip to terrassa went by really quickly. as inigo montoya says, "lemme sum up".

nashville: also the return stage. which i am so looking forward to. i feel like i've been gone for years. also, in nashville, my one bright hope was that i'd see mat kearney around, but then i realised that he wouldn't be flying international and hence, would be in a different terminal altogether. bummer.

chicago: can't remember a thing about it, except that it was fun landing. i like landing near cities and buildings, etc.

montreal: i was tired on the flight there. but while landing, i decided that i needed to visit that dear city sometime. i was hungry there. i was tired there. i found wifi there.

barcelona: switched seats with a girl so she could sit next to her husband. and that put me next to this family who spoke...well, everything. "aah, papá, se fue! my bagbag! merci papá."- a 2 year old girl. throughout the flight they switched between french, spanish and english. also, i attempted sleep. but instead, i just listened to mat kearney for 5 hrs straight.

barcelona (sin avión): i hopped into a customs line, and it turned out to be the right one. fancy that. then  i got my bag, exchanged money (bn: "caixa" is catalan for...umm...well...you can exchange your currency there). then i got on a bus, then a train. i sat next to a retired united nations interpreter returning from new york city to barcelona. she pointed things out to me as we passed them, and we talked languages. of course, with both of us jetlagged, we didn't make much sense nor did we converse the old lemons much.

train ride to terrassa

this afternoon was a blur. i mostly just hung out here, talking and listening. i've been very dizzy though. when i try to stand straight up the world rocks back and forth. i need sleep. and lots of it.

note on terrassa: the town is adorable. a lot of history and cool buildings and streets. pictures to come!

i never knew toothpaste could be so comforting.
