I will share my highlights of the week again after having crossed the border to Spain:
- Being confronted with a culture I know little about;
- Struggling with communicating because I resist as much as possible the temptation to go the easy way and speak English;
- Finding a nice yoga studio, 802 yoga, and practicing every day;
- Chatting with Aldatz, the friendly hostel founder at Koba hostel, and getting to know more about the place and city;
- Walking up Mount Urgull and enjoying the view;
- Starting to feel a bit fed up with eating dinner alone;
- Meeting Lili and Yannic and jamming with them and their guitars;
- Playing for the first time along side an electric guitar (Yannic). And then taking it into the streets! We made enough cash for 2 cold beers 🙂 ;
- Going out for pintxos (tapas) with people from the hostel;
- Meeting my host family. I can hardly say a few words in Spanish to the landlady. Nevertheless, her daughter visiting from the Netherlands can translate the basic house rules into English;
- Enjoying a picnic in sweet solitude by the ocean near Zurriola beach, connecting to nature and watching the surfers.
And here are things I’m excited about that might happen soon:
- Starting Spanish school;
- Taking surf lessons;
- Meeting new people.
