Friday I finally bought the tickets for the boat direction Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. And finally we are leaving this little village of 20 inhabitants. We are traveling by car from Salamanca to Cadiz then take the boat. We are my husband, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a canary, some books, some clothes, and myself. The rest will come with boxes later. The trip by boat will last 2 days, 2 nights. There is a special section for animals in the boat.
So now it is too late to change our minds. I am not sure if it is the good decision. Where concerning where to live, where to put some roots I am always lost. Everything started before I was born, my father left Spain before my birth. So it is, in some part, a genetic situation I think. Always changing countries, always looking to something that I am sure I will never find: some place where I would be able to say: here I will stay till the end.
What is sure is that it was important to leave this village that is far away of everything. 4 years living here is enough. I will miss the silence and the peace. Not the people. But it is time to be in another place and not do 40 km just to go to buy a pack of cigarettes. And this just for my Yumas. If I wanted other items I have to do 100 kilometers or more. I need to see people, talk to people, exchange with people, communicate. Here I just communicate by virtual. I have the desire to be near bookshops, museums, cafés, libraries, cinemas. I have the desire to see men and women, children, dogs, cats, humanity. Here everything is so far away. Humanity seems too far away.
I feel a little nervous and insecure and sometimes very strong. My husband is very happy and have regain a sort of energy that surprises me. He have MS but this trip and project gives him a force that is extraordinary. Our Paleo diet helps very much. I think that this diet, thanks to this forum, is the base of our change. And everything else that this forum and SOTT give, also. When you are informed and feel part of a team that is always there like a lighthouse you stop to be lost. So again everything is connected.
I wanted to share this important decision with you. Advises will be welcome. :) Thanks to listen.
