Loving Spain and People

I am currently loving Spain and the people there. Just from observation of course. This week I've been struggling with feeling like I'll be able to get my visa in time. I mean I leave in less than a month! Everything is working out but I feel like it's not going fast enough. If that makes sense.

Even though this week has been stressing me out a bit. I've been calmed down somewhat by some lovely people. I told Soledad somewhat of how I was feeling and she made me feel so much better. She believes that I'll be able to get my visa in time and that even if I don't I can always just come for three months. She said it with so much confidence that I just felt like it was true. Seeing as I've never done this before I don't have much confidence in it. So it's nice to see someone who does have confidence in it.

After I talked to Soledad she had one of her friends reach out to me. Her name is Linda. She's from Australia but has been living in A Coruna for sometime now. She's been amazing and has been helping me find easier ways to get my visa. She also has been telling me about A Coruna from an outsiders perspective. That alone has been super helpful.

I love how so far everyone I've talked to from Spain is helpful and kind. They just seem so loving! I don't know if everyone from Spain is like that but these people sure are making me have a great impression of the place. Anyway stop with the stressful stuff and onto the fun things!

It turns out Siestas are a legit thing! Hallelujah! I'm so excited to go to a place where nap taking is accepted as part of everyday life. This alone makes me love Spain! If you can't tell I really like naps. Linda also says that people live to eat food and be with friends and family. They don't live to work. "Work is just a necessary evil to pay for food." I really love that. By the sounds of it they're just a very laid back people. That's my style of people!

As much as they're a very laid back people I don't know if I approve of their food choices. Linda says the food is delicious and that I'll love it but then she sent me this picture.

Pulpo! A.K.A Octopus! I think I'm going to die. She says that you get get used to it and that she even starts to crave it if she hasn't had it in a while. Apparently it's pretty common there too. I'll eat it but I have literally no idea how or if I'll like it. I'm nervous. 

Anyway I also had a blessing from dad this week and it also made me feel at peace. It's just hard to trust that everything will work out. I've had so many confirmations that it will all be fine but man it's so difficult not to be stressed out about it. Maybe it's good I'm stressed about it. It's making me work harder. Or something. Well I believe that's all I have to say to you people for now so until next week!
