12:50 (Spanish time)= 6:50 (NY time)
In actuality I'm flying so I have no idea what time it is- somewhere between London & Madrid. It figures I would write in this much more often in the beginning. It's been only 5 hours since my last entry. It's kind of cool being on the plane going to Spain because everything is in Spanish and English. And people start by assuming that I speak the language- until I open my mouth. Oops. Better improve on that. It's funny how that works- in Israel everyone thought I was Israeli and here I'm Spanish. At home I'm Puerto Rican. Obviously. Guess I'm just a chameleon. Unless I go to Sweden or Russia. Don't think I'll be mistaken for a native there.
p.s. really into "Airport Song" by Guster. It's been getting me through these flights. Props to Noah for his taste in music.
Forgot to mention in the last entry that on my flight to JFK to Heathrow this 30 something year old dude with long hair sat next to me and immediately started talking about how easy it is to get drugs in Europe. Then he got up and found a row to himself, leaving me to stretch across 3 seats and sleep for 4 hours. But not before explaining to me the nature of his work as a stone company owner, cartoonist, and professional gambler. Muy interesante. Anyway...think that's it for now. Landing in Madrid relatively soon...
Oooh I am excited to read about your adventures abroad!! Also jealous that you got a good airplane companion. The most memorable person I ever sat next to in flight was a lady who, as soon as she found out I was a writer, whipped out a copy of her book, exclaiming "I'm a writer too!" It was a book of poetry, and unfortunately, it was crap. lol
ReplyDeleteHope you made it safely to your destination!
