Epilogue: Dejé mi corazón en España

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...

  1. There are just no words to describe this. OK, maybe magnificent, and brilliant, and heart swelling, and beautiful, and artistic...

    Now 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!
