my time in madrid... (roses) - 06/27/01 03:36 AM
I have finally made it over to Madrid... I crossed over a big blue ocean and now I sit here in an Internet cafe a block away from my apartment. Itīs kind of strange. I have never been in one place for more than a few days and now I am in Madrid for almost a month.
I never really knew what to expect, but now that I am here, I am ready to sit back and just enjoy the wonderful life that God has placed before me. Not knowing what today or tomorrow will bring, I am waiting impatiently to see the chapters that will unravel in my life over the next few weeks.
I am not homesick yet, although I called my mother two times yesterday. Today is my first day to explore and live in Madrid. I am off to ice skate and then to explore the beauty that secretly lies here is this magnificent city.
My accommodations were not what I expected, but Warren and I are very happy to be surrounded by other young travelers who can give us much advice on our travels. We have taken it into our own hands to make our room in this piso an enjoyable place to come home to. We are decorating it with candles, flowers and posters... and of course, the great drawings of my artisic friend Warren.
Anyhow, if everyday is filled with as much joy as I am experiencing right now... I will be a truly blessed person, with a heart that knows so much happiness and freedom.
The weather is perfect, as well as the ice cream!!! Anyway, I must go to skate and journey into this unknown world. Iīll write later...roses.
