Happiness in a click

The second time I visited Spain there was an encounter with a sight I couldn't help wanting to capture.
While waiting on the refuge to cross the street, I asked the yellow-and-blue trio if I could have a picture. The guy in the middle expected to make a picture of me, but then realised it was them I wanted!

I left my card with contact details, but I haven't heard anything ever since.

At least by posting it now, my part is done :)

Every day

Today I woke up early.
Everyone was still asleep.
I went out for some air.
Wanted to buy some bread next door.
But the bakery was still closed.
I'd have to look elsewhere.

I rode the bike.
It was cold and the streets were empty.
Just a few faces passed me by.
Faces I'd normally never see in this neighborhood.
As if I were in another reality.

The supermarket seemed closed too.
A gate kept me from entering the parking lot.

At that moment, when everything was different, still and cool
I realised that every day can be a cleaned slate.
Just forget about everything you know, forgive the ones you have to forgive,
and start with a new life.

Spain (1)

I saw Prince Felipe

Walked backwards from the mountains

Found the sun so hot, I couldn't stay longer than a few minutes

Was in a wonderful bar, that was founded before I was born

Took the metro, just to watch people travelling

Had french pancakes, made in spanish style

Was amazed by the range of fresh foods in the supermarket

and is still impressed they have plastic seperation in Madrid
