i'm down for fall.

i've recently hit my 8 month mark in barcelona. que pasa? similar to the cars and motos here, time doesn't seem to slow down for anything.

today is october 1st.
i tend to welcome new months with open arms. i like beginnings, they seem to put things into perspective. and there's something especially bittersweet about october...a month that i've always appreciated for it's frankness. there's no religious holiday stuffing it up and there's no cheery facade. i imagine apple cider, close-toed shoes, pumpkin carvings, warm hugs and orange-red-and-yellow sprinkled leaves. e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g is orange, red and yellow as a matter of fact. i dig it. i dig it all.

as the weather, and the people, begin to grow a little colder, there are a few things that i will miss about those warm barcelona months. for example...[beaches, bars and hazy shades of blue]

sitges, spain
sitges, spain secret beach

and, what could've possibly made those summer days more delectable? mediterannean-side tapas, perhaps [
if it comes from the sea, i've eaten it.]


well, fall is here, and i am damn happy about it. beginnings add a little skip to my step.
