"I don't know yet what it is, or where it will be in reality, but I have a little house o' dreams all furnished in my imagination-a tiny, delightful castle in Spain".
-Anne (Montgomery 4).
So many available trips around the many countries of Europe... and not one that includes a trip to Spain. The path is so difficult. But hopefully one day I'll find my way to the seemingly unattainable. If I'm strong enough to endure it.
Though I don't know much about it, Spain seems to me a lovely place to visit. It would be my first or last stop for touring the world; I'm not sure which yet. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what it has to offer other than the Sunrise. I know they speak Spanish, and I've heard things about Madrid (that is in Spain, right?). But I still don't know much.
What I find funny is that the Travel Channel doesn't cover Spain much. I think I've seen a few things on it, but then I didn't have such a profound intrest in it.
I don't know what I'm hoping to find in Spain. Really, I haven't a clue why I'm so drawn to it. Perhaps that is what draws me to it; maybe I want to know what my curiosity wants to know.
I've been visited once, though the encounter wasn't likely to have the same effect on the visitor and the native resident. Maybe I'm looking to return the act just for curiosity's sake.
I may see the Sunrise, and I may not. But one day I'll make it to Spain, just to challenge the odds.

Madrid is the capital, and sunrises sounds splendid. I never really thought of sunrises, just sun sets. Maybe its a sign we need to see something beautiful from the start, instead of the end...

Incredible, I think that's why we seek to travel in te first place, don't you think, Paige? I don't think it's so much that we need to see it before we die, but rather that we need to find what our curiosity has been so inquisitive about for so long - the fact that there's an entire world out there just waiting to be explored and so many places, destinations, people to be found and met.
PS: I can't wait until we cover Spain! Madrid is said to be absolutely incredible and the food is just so! Let's make it our first and last destination!
