¡voy a españa en 11 días!
all i can think is..."what about dealing with loneliness on the flight from montreal to barcelona?", "what about getting to the peñas house", "what about being polite and knowing what to talk to them about as i struggle to remember things like 'my name is hannah. i have three brothers and one sister'", "what about finding enough to do during the day?"
what about...everything?
but, "Jehová es mi pastor; nada me faltará" (psalm 23:1). and sadly, many of my doubts don't fade, but remain tugging at the corners of my mind.
now, on to the fun part of being en españa! there are a couple of nice looking parks both within a mile or so of where i'll be staying. there is also a cute little café across the street from my apartment. "it"(name forthcoming. seriously, once i get there, you may wish you'd never heard of it before) serves coffee, cookies, tea, sandwiches. at least--i think it does. it was all in catalan and i didn't bother to look any of the words up.
and the official language of the city i'll be in is...catalan. it's like french and spanish got together to cook some paella and the end product was overdone and tasted like an old peanut butter sandwich with pepper thrown in by some intruding languages. so, if i take to sign language or morse code or even pull a zechariah on you...i'll have good cause.
very good cause.
OOOh! I can't wait to hear about that little cafe. Sound wonderful! If you pull Zachariah I won't know what to do! I'm so used to hearing you talk. So don't do that, k? Just learn Catalan. yum, I love paellla. :)
