Barcelona: Wandering, Lost, and Falling in Love
Hello, Barcelona! I usually don’t make a detailed itinerary. I’m too impatient for that. I just know that I want to see this and that, and then I just wander around.

Farewell, Friends
Today I tweeted, ‘May the rest of this June be as sweet as its beginning. Amen.’ After the perplexity I caused last May, June comes to the rescue and now everything falls into places. Three days to go until I leave and I’ve never felt this blue for leaving my friends behind. I remember a promise…
