Adieu Barça, Ciao Italia

Well, I think it's about time for me to get a little mystical, which for those who know me well should be no surprise...

I must admit that I did not have a great time in Barcelona. I was actually in a mild depressive state for most of my stay there. The funny thing is that I don't even know why. The people were a little off, the city wasn't what I was expecting and things weren't going all that great. I guess I just wanted to go home...

Yesterday though I arrived in Italy, and the funny thing is that as I was flying in an overwhelming feeling of giddyness overcame me. I don't know why, but I haven't been able to wipe a smile off my face since. It was a strange feeling of coming home that I have been experiencing for the past 24 hours. I don't see myself being able to stay away from this place for very long; I think at this point fate and destiny have taken over... not much I can do. :D

I don't have any pictures yet but believe me they are sure to come. Things are fairly more expensive here than in Barcelona (computer use is 4x more!) so I don't know how often I will make it here, but I will eventually.

Well, that's it for now. I need to go polish up my italian a bit... :)

Arrivederchi,

Rafa
