Home Again
I’ve been incredibly bad about posting lately but I arrived back to Washington yesterday afternoon and I figured I would reflect on some things that I miss already and things am excited to have again
Things I already miss about Madrid:
-Boyfriend/Friends: Duh
-Siesta: Because I very much enjoy sleeping in the middle of the day while feeling “cultured”
-The great convenience of having a trash can every block on the street: for when I have to pick up after my dog on a walk
-Black out blinds
-The metro: Why don’t we have better public transportation in WA??
-Cheap groceries, drinks, food, etc: This will probably be the hardest adjustment considering how broke I am now that I’m back in the States
-Being able to drink at any time of the day and have it be considered socially acceptable
-Warm weather: Washington has been having phenomenal weather. However, that changed as soon as I stepped off the plane.
-Late Everything: I’m such a night owl so dinner between 9 and 10 pm followed by a night out until 6am worked perfectly for my internal clock
-Tapas!: I absolutely love getting plates of food when I order drinks
Things I missed about Washington:
-Good beer: I was so unbelievably happy to walk into a grocery store and pick up a big bottle of Elysian Super Fuzz beer
-Friends/Family: Duh
-Nature: I’ve learned that I’m really not much of a city girl after living in Madrid and I’m so excited for the outdoor adventures to come this summer!
-AWESOME SUSHI
I’m sure I’ll think of more later but these are my initial thoughts :)
