Five days in Catalonia
I'm awake. Awake in the Netherlands. Last Friday I flew to Barcelona and yesterday I flew back to Maastricht. Yes, after the train fee the savings of flying to Maastricht rather than Eindhoven are ridiculous. No problem, I made lots of foursquare points. Well, after two months I returned home and returned to leave it. As is normal everything and everybody was in the same place. Today I feel a bit disturbed. Anyway, to visit my country refreshed my mind and remembered to me what is my duty here: Improve. And I'm in the way.
