nostalgic spell

Ten years ago today, I was strolling around Spain, perhaps Barcelona, and well, in that case, I was probably not walking around the city but partying with some really hot Dutch men in some hole-in-the-wall bar.  It seems like a lifetime ago.  I don't even remember that person anymore - the ten-years-ago-me.  I remember the Dutch guy very well, except his name.  I don't know if I ever got his name.  Okay, I've digressed ...

I've been reminiscing.  Maybe because of my Friday-night-that-turned-into-Saturday-morning outing.  I had not done that in a very long time.  Stayed out until 4:00 a.m.  I was very tired on Saturday.  I actually slept in.  All morning.  But, I had to go out again all afternoon.  And then, worked until midnight.  I wasn't very kind to myself.

Anyhow, I just wanted to post this sunset picture I took in Ibiza during my European adventure ten years ago.  It's not very clear because I had to scan it, but I think you get the idea - of just how beautiful that sunset was.  That was taken on our last night in Ibiza, when we stayed out all night (again) - watched the sun set and rise.  Then, had to rush to the airport for our flight to Rome.  We passed out in the plane.  Those were great younger years.  I think if I tried to do a 30-day European adventure now, where I hardly slept and was on the go to a different city every three days, it would take me two months to recover.  I guess, that's what our youths are for.  To have those wonderful, crazy adventures.  (Not to say we can't do it when we're older ... I just think it becomes a tad more tamed.)        

Okay, I better go to bed early ... I need to be productive tomorrow!
