It's About Time!
What Would You Do??
Hello everyone! Once again I have revived and I apologize for the delay. I got so caught up in living here and celebrating the holidays that I didn't update my blog in the meantime...but I am back after a few demands! I do have to say that I have been busy and enjoy everyday that this city brings me. So let's go back in the past, far back into the end of October where we left off last.
One Saturday afternoon as Oriol and I were welcoming the day, he surprised me with entrances to Barca's Camp Nou! I had yet to visit it and not only did he say we would go see the game but we would take the scooter the way real Barceloneans do. I was thrilled especially the moment we walked into the stadium and you heard the countless amount of people cheering and screaming for their team. I was so thrilled that I called my dad and he was just as excited and right when we were on the phone they scored and he cheered along with me. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience...
Then the very next day, after the euphoria of the game we woke up to one of the last summer days we would experience in 2008 and decided to hit the beach up North, Palamos.
We spent the entire day in the sun, taking pictures and simply enjoying one of the last warm days of the year. I don't even want to get started on how cold it has been these last few months...I am dying for Spring to get here soon. When??
In the meantime, let's take few minutes of nostalgia and concentrate on the beauty of the blue sea, tanned legs and salty windblown hair that screams summer.
Then to finish off the month and officially welcome Fall, we celebrated La Castanyada on the 1st of November. We headed out to Oriol's family house with his sister and her kids to roast chestnuts and make panallets, a special sweet treat made out of flour and pinenuts. Biel was the official panallet maker along with Oriol and we got our fingers dirty making little balls of dough and peeling warm roatsted chestnuts.
Biel and I took our fish faces seriously and I couldn't help but start humming Christmas tunes to myself as Laia and Biel joined in, even though they had no clue what I was singing...
Finally, I closed off that month without Thanksgiving, but a little birthday dinner for Idoia in Tarragona. I joined her and her lovely friends to celebrate, have girl talk and laugh our booties off all night.
The next morning I had the honor to wake up with my dear friend and join her and her daughter for a coffee in the sun and some more laughs. Laia and Ada only keep growing and I love seeing them turn into lovely young ladies...
November came and went and ended with a bike ride on the beach and the anticipation of my very first Christmas in Barcelona...if you stay tune, I promise to let you in on my big 30th surprise birthday party, Christmas and New Year and all my small 'happenings'. As well as few opinions on the status of the world...and to not fall back on the updates...Paris, our plans to travel to California in April and more!
