Being back in a city… everyday is SUCH a rollercoaster. UP & DOWN & SPIN AROUND. SOMETHING is always happening. I cannot even make a blog post to cover it all. In fact, every time I think I might be ready to post, a new rollercoaster comes on and I put off blogging again!

One second I am swimming in the ocean, playing volleyball on the beach, climbing in Cataluña. The next second I am getting a bike ticket, having a terrible night’s sleep, getting stood up by a date TWICE (like wtf), finding out my vaccine appointment was actually at a hospital 2 hours away, etc. Then, I am playing the piano in the hospital. The next second I am praising the lord that there is Nutella on the free shelf. The next day the Nutella has disappeared. Madre mía.

Originally, I was thinking of posting all these adventures, but like its just not possible. Also no-one wants to read all of that. So I am just going to post a ton of photos with little captions and call it a blog post.

The Recent Downs of the RollerCoasters

1. Sometimes I am so busy I am racing
2. My back hurts from the bed a bit.
3. I had to work extra when Michel left early and had to cancel some plans.
4. It took forever for me to pay off this bike ticket; its a crazy story actually.
5. It also took forever to get a yellow fever vaccine!
6. I have felt too busy to call friends/family recently and that makes me sad.
7. I have gotten stood up by some dates (RUDE)

Hasta Luego!
