I really can't even begin to go into how amazing my trip was. Spain will forever have a special place in my heart. The sights, the sounds, the smells. I met so many amazing people along the way that hopefully I'll run into later in life, tried so many new foods, did so many things I never thought I'd have the chance do. I laughed until my stomach hurt, danced for so long my legs shook the next day, drove 1509km, manual no less, and became completely engulfed in a new culture. In the span of two weeks I traveled to four new countries, two new continents, and saw ten different cities.
But most importantly, a friendship grew.
Last time I said goodbye I didn't know that it'd only be six months until I got to see her again. And this time, although it was harder, because I felt closer than I ever have to her, in a strange way it was easier. I couldn't promise the next time we'd cross paths or where it'd be, but if this trip proved anything, it'd be sooner than I thought.
I'm not going to get all preachy like I did last time I wrote the end to my travel journal. No - this time is different. I have nothing to be scared of. Two years didn't mess anything up and another six months didn't touch us. I'll be damned if I let it stretch any longer.
Let's just leave it at I'll see you soon...

**Please feel free to click the "download" option underneath the video. I recommend grabbing the original HD file and opening it with Quicktime - that way, if you so feel the need, you can scan through and 1200 photos**
There are just no words to describe this. OK, maybe magnificent, and brilliant, and heart swelling, and beautiful, and artistic...
ReplyDeleteNow I need to look at each piece/photo separately, as my brain couldn't process as quickly as my eyes could see.
By the way - LOVE the soundtrack.
You just set the bar very high for the Motherland :)
ieyu, ilys!
