What a Wonderful World

When our worlds collide.  

I hitched a free ride to Madrid this week.  And this is where my Castellón world and Madrid world collide.  I've become a tour guide.  Something I actually love to do.  For a a while I was able to take a walk alone though, something else I love to do. I had tears in my eyes.  This has been my farewell tour of Spain.  I am saying goodbye.  

I spent a week in Malaga with friends at a resort on the beach. Wow!  Then I toured the Alhambra in Granada!  What a beautiful little city.  This week I begin to say goodbye to Castellón and Valencia with fireworks from the Fallas.  And my final farewell to Madrid will be next week. 

It's a beautiful country, beautiful people, and memories.  I will miss it.  The transportation, the walks, the noise and smells. 

I will leave my illegal residency and my unemployment in Europe.  This doesn't mean forever, but for now, it feels right to head back to the states. It feels right to find a place to stay and stop moving every six months.  It feels right to focus on my own community and try to make a difference there.  It is sad to leave. But it just feels right. 

Before I leave Europe there a few more things to see.... next up; Morocco, Italy, Germany and Turkey...
