We are here! Hello Palm Trees.. We are back home!
I have always thought that when life hands you things.. you should take it! sometimes its impossible but most of the times.. its not! its just us people who are not ready for changes.. I can be very difficult person to lot of people because I make these 2 second choices and just live with it.. fix it and see what happens next ;) I do understand some people needs time to think about things.. but sometimes.. you just gotta act fast.. and Im so happy I have that talent!
like: YES OR NO. so simple. This time I said YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS :D
and yes, I think it was in few seconds..
me and Marc are lucky. This is how I see it.. We have 2 homes in the city we love and is ours..
We have daddys city flat.. aaaaaaand.. wohoo.. we have a mountain hippie haven! hihii.. I cant believe life brought this scenery in front of me with a question from a friend..
Do you want to live here?
Barcelona is surrounded by mountains and I live in the laaaast corner of the city.. very high up.. with such scenery on my OWN terrace.. that Its just MAD! I dont see only Barcelona under me.. I see also the neighbouring city, Badalona under me.. day light.. night light.. its just amazing! wake up every morning to see the city under me.. go to sleep everynight with a nightlights under me.. the panorama is so wide that you can actually see how the globe is round ..
omg. Im in paradise.
The flat itself is sooo hippie and I love it. Where else would I get ( ok, now.. there might be other places too.. :D ) so much inspiration for painting and relaxing than here.. exactly what I need and my son needs.. tranquility! we have nooooo rush nowhere... Id hate maybe live there if had to take morning metros and buses and trains to work.. but since Im not working.. We have no ruuush nowhere, and we LOVE IT!
the neighbourhood is called NOU BARRIS and its all small mountain roads, relaxed people and very much peace around compared to the hectic city center where I used to live.. siesta is siesta.. almost everything is closed on siesta hours, just some bakeries and bars open..
its soooooooo hoooooot here.. and I LOOOOOOVE IT.. maybe not so nice to Marc.. but when I get all flat fixed I make some good shadows for him in our terrace.. he loves it its so warm.. just a diper on or naked.. going around the city in the afternoon is just too much for him.. swetting 24/7 and feeling uncomfy.. hey.. we all other people live behind shades as well :)
It takes me 1 hour to come down to the center .. I mean its FAAAAR!! hahah.. but hey.. I have nooooo rush nowhere!
there is a barriobus going around the mountain roads.. but I get sick on those and Marc as well.. the driver man is really nice.. already knows us.. and when I took this foto of the bus he shouted smiling from window " hola guapos, q tal" .. this is hello sweeties, how are you.. and tells exactly about the feeling in this neighbourhood. Everyone is nice!
we use these funky lifts.. its real, these crazy lifts.. free of charge for everyone to use! these lifts are our last part up! its in 3 parts and they are clean as heaven and never smell piss or things like that..
I think they are kinda cooool :)
I take these lifts down and I walk more down.. to a really nice park I found.. 10mins from my temporary paradise :)
and voila! through this park and I am at place called Llucmajor and there is metro and better supermarkets.. all buses and only 2 stops to daddys home :) I like it!
The flat is not mine.. a swedish ex colleague lives there and is never home and asked me if I want it.. he said I can do whatever I want with it.. and yes! oh yes! I have :D luckily this guy says "i like it" to everything when he saw it.. so.. I think we can stay :) my hippie paradise!
lot of work still to be done.. but I love it I love it I love it.. go around second hand markets.. or just stay home and paint stuff.. I cant wait to see what I come up with during these months on painting.. daddy works anyway typical spanish hours 9-19 so.. I have nooothing but time! oh yes! thank you angels for this one! I love it! I gotta find a biiig dinner table to that terrace.. whatever second hand table.. as long as its good, if its ugly.. what a heck, I paint it :)
this place is all about love and relaxation!
if there was someone expecting a lot of fotos of Marc and his dad.. you will not get it.. This time, these days, have been so precious to all of us.. that even if there is fotos.. they are not to share with the world. We have come a very long way with Marcs dad to be in this point where he can finally enjoy his own son.. and its just too precious to put on public. And .. its anyway my blog! mine! :D and not about him.. we are very happy. all the 3 of us. And it brings me such happiness to my heart I cant even say in words to see these 2 chicos play and laugh and take the lost time back.
We have been doing things.. but most cool one was I finally got my dinner at the restaurant I wrote previously on Montjuic Mountain next to swimming pools.. with a view over the city :) but funny enough.. after I had seen the view of this mountain hippie flat.. I took part of the Montjuic view away.. anyway. Was a lovely evening and something we had really missed. Relaxed time together with good food and warm weather :)
this is the arrangement we have now.. we all live differently.. and I personally think nobody else makes you happy unless you do it yourself.. with this arrangement.. I think we all win. I have lot of love around me here and I feel like Im very safe with my life for me and Marc. I need so much peace now that this flat was like a gift from heaven to this moment of life...
right now Im writing this in a small hotel 150kms north from Barcelona.. in a place called Figueres.. its a home of DALI.. I came here with Marc for couple days to see finally the DALI madness..
stay tuned.. muchos to stories to come :)
love ya all..
