After School

Here I am sitting in the HOME HOSTEL in Valencia, Spain. I've been traveling for exactly one week now and I'm finally back into the groove of living out of a bag. It's not too easy, backpacking in Europe. It takes a lot of strength mentally and physically. Especially mentally, especially when you've been away from all your loved ones for over four months.

Right now, Tina and i are just wasting some time, awaiting our overnight train to Granada. I am enjoying all this travel, new things to see constantly, new cultures to experience.

However, at the standstill moment (awaiting an overnight train)... I am plagued with curiosity of how things at home are going. Over four months is a long time to be away, and although I have much company of Tina and people that we meet along the way, I still feel a strike of loneliness whenever I go on Facebook/Myspace. Perhaps I shouldn't do it, but I do. And then I wonder about my friends and family back home. I wonder how they are doing and I wish that they could all keep blogs so I could understand, even at the tiniest bit, of what I've missed in their life.

Anyways, here is a spur of the moment blog, as I begin to log off. I will head home in about 12 days. Tina and I head to Granada tonight and then back to Italy for a few days. We will part and I will be in London until I go home. Needless to say, I am super excited for the remaining travel I have. I can't wait to see Cinque Terre (in Italy) and Granada and London!! But I suppose feelings go both ways sometimes.

I am also keeping a journal and taking a few pictures, so I want to complete this blog of travels when I come home, and hopefully post what I have if I can find time.

Anyways, that is that! And I hope that whoever reads this is having a wonderful night. I will see you all soon, Adios!
