Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

This summer I spent a week in Barcelona traveling solo, my first time in Spain. I decided one afternoon to leave the city and get some beach and surf so I hopped the train to Sitges, along the Mediterranean. I arrived in no time and smiled at the breezy seaside air. After exploring the medieval streets I laid on the beach for most of the afternoon, alternating between people watching, reading, and napping. As day slipped into dusk I scrambled out to a long rocky pier and wrote in my journal. I remember feeling so lucky and happy just to be alive. Traveling energizes my spirits - everyday is something completely new. I got up to leave and noticed my shadow on the boulders. I took my Polaroid Land Camera and snapped this shot, hoping to capture forever the golden magical light and feeling of simple contentment.
