My Adult Outlooks

In April 2007 I went down to Barcelona. I had some years ago planned to move there again and eventually went down to arrange an accommodation for myself. I had lived there for three years already during the time period 93-96. Then I went to an art school and was living with my girl out there who taught me how to speak Spanish. I met her through an online dating website. She was an adorable soft spoken young woman at it was love at first sight.

If I remember correctly, I stayed at this guest house for about 4 weeks when I first came to Spain. On my first date with this lovely young lady that I met through online dating I took her to see bull fighting, she loved it. The person that owned the guest house that I was staying in was from New Zealand. His name was Graham and we got along great. He had also found his true love on the Internet and thanks to online dating he had moved all the way from New Zealand to Barcelona to live with his girlfriend that he found over here, Sofia.

The first night I arrived I had forgotten my glasses at the airport and Graham was kind enough to quickly drive me back to the airport where someone had kindly handed them up to reception. I sometimes asked myself if I was crazy that I moved to another country just to meet a girl that I been online dating for just several weeks before hand. However once I arrived in the beautiful city of Barcelona and saw her for the first time all my doubts and possible regret suddenly vanished when she came up to me and gave me a massive big hug.

Now once I was back in Spain I had planned to go back and find my old friend Graham from New Zealand. He had sent me a Christmas card the previous years and told me I should come down for a visit which I have now kindly accepted. This will be the first Christmas that I spend away from my family in England and I look very much forward to the nice and tropical weather we have here in Spain. It's a nice change from the cold and depressing weather I am used to after living in Bristol for most of my teenage years. My life couldn't be better.
