The Beginning

Cheers to this blog I have somehow been inspired to write. I promised myself years ago I never would write one; how cliched it seemed to me. Yet here I am, about to leave on an incredible 9 week journey abroad to Spain, and I was inspired to create this blog about my travel journeys. I don't know if anyone will venture to read this, and frankly I don't care. I'll be honest, my writing is odd, my brain is scattered, my spelling is horrendous, and my thoughts are crazy. As a warning, I won't apoogize for any of that because this is exactly who I am. So here it is. Kelly Dawes Smith's thoughts on the world; From My Travel Eyes to Your Soul... Enjoy.

I saw my first bull fight today. Actually, to rephrase that, for the first time I saw five bulls get killed over a span of two hours. After a weekend in the beautiful Costa Brava where I went boating, hit the beach, and explored the coast line cliffs, I finally stopped running around.

Brandon, Rachel and I go to the Picasso Museum for free…. Stumble into a group of old people doing a native dance to music in the Gothic part of the city in a square… Find an antique market and don’t say a word to each other while browsing because we realize nostalgia is bliss ….Bought an antique coin from Espana that is currently hanging around my neck with my silver cross…. Pass by a market where the front was designed by Gaudi... Stumble into the Opera house here and decide next week we are going to see the Flamenco Opera…. Finish the day by eating an apple and a Milka bar at the Arc D’Triumph…… By far the coolest Sunday of my life. Life continues to keep suprising me. If you just go with the flow and have no worries where the next part of your journey is or who it is with, life is a blast. Lo...
