Hard To Keep Up

I'm on a morning stroll down La Rambla in Barcelona. I came back here to visit friends for a few nights. It's nice here. The street is packed even at this hour and will only get more crowded until about 2am. I just had a fresh banana orange juice and I'm walking down to catch a glimpse of the water before getting to some work I need to do.

The experiences and transformations I'm experiencing in Europe are coming fast and are too numerous for me to keep up with. But I'm going through a metamorphosis and it feels great.

Barcelona so far has gone exactly NOT how I thought it was going to. But lately it seems this is how things are for me. It's nothing like I think, and it's fantastic.

My journey in Europe is only partially completed and I know that. So even though my plane ticket to Los Angeles says next week on it, I'm canceling it. And I'm staying here until it feels right to leave.

I feel free. Like never before. Inside and out. And even my candy cane striped sunburn feels good under these clothes.
