Went off to Sitges today with Cheryl, Jerry, and Kristen. It's a small little town about half an hour away from Barcelona with broad, sandy beaches and small, narrow streets. It was so nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona for a day. It's been really hot here for the past couple of days. Last night I was drenched in sweat and could not sleep a wink. It was so uncomfortable. I had to get up twice to change my shirt. It was unbearable. This morning was really bad as well...the cool breeze from Sitges was like a gift from God.
We arrived around two and had a quick bite to eat at a Mexican place where, for the first time since I've been to Spain, I actually understood the Spanish. Navigated my way through the menu like it was second nature! They were playing some bachata as well ;)
Headed towards the beach after and just lounged around all afternoon. The water was really nice and cooled us off when the sun beat us to death. We went off to a restaurant by the water around six where we found this little gem:
Yes, it's wrong that I whipped out my camera to take a picture of an innocent man just standing in the middle of the beach, minding his own business. And yes, if Jerry were the one who took out a camera to take a picture of a woman we all would have probably given him a dirty look, but look...look closer...how could you expect me NOT to capture this???
Who: Carmen
Mini-Bio:
xx-something egyptia-yorker who's spent over half her life stuck in two worlds not of her own making. unable and unwilling to fully embrace one identity over the other, she created (is trying to create) her own place in the world where people love each other unconditionally, irrespective of artificial boundaries, and where dancing merengue is as necessary to life as breathing air.
