I’m posting this from the couch of a cabin in the RMBL (Rocky Mountains Biology Lab), where we are spending today, refreshing from so many miles and roads. It’s such a great and amazing trip that I’m living right now. I haven’t really updated in english that much as most of the time I’ve devoted to let the world know about this experience has gone to the sLog’s which are in spanish. However, I’m living so much I don’t believe I won’t write about it, but that will be once it’s gone and I’m relaxed enough so to sit down in front of the editor and think a bit about such a rush of pictures, sounds, roads and experiences. So, to all of you who follow me around the world but do not speak spanish (if any), be patient as there’ll be hot stuff to come soon!
From the road,

I’ve just uploaded the first and the second sLog from the trip, those covering the first days (NY, Chicago and the road in between). I know they are a bit long (about 10 minutes each), I’ll try to make them shorter so knowing about me don’t take you more than 3 or four minutes a day. Any problem found when trying to listen to them or feedback is big welcome (post it here). Enjoy them!
Acabo de subir las dos primeras grabaciones de los Sound Logs, las que cubren Nueva York, Chicago y toda la carretera que conlleva. Sé que son algo largos (unos diez minutos cada uno), intentaré hacerlos más cortos para que saber de mi no os lleve más de 3 o 4 minutos al día. Cualquier problema que tengais para escucharlos o comentario que os sugieran son bienvenidos. Espero que los disfruteis tanto como yo cuando los grabé.

After many problems, I’ve decided to set up a new site for the Sound Logs. From now on, I’ll upload them there so you can directly listen to them from the page (and subscribe to them if desired). However, I’ll keep on posting here whenever a new one is online so just by checking this blog you’ll stay tuned!!!

Después de ciertos problemas, he decidido crear una nueva página en la que subir los Sound Logs. Así que a partir de ahora, podeis escucharme directamente desde ahí. Sin embargo, cada vez que cuelgue uno nuevo, lo anunciaré aquí, por lo que consultando este blog podreis estar siempre al loro!!!

Posting this from my friend’s laptop just to say I’m having problems to get my laptop online for free (damn non-free WiFi’s) in the US. That’s why I cannot write mails, hardly even read them… However, today I’ve stared to record some audio pieces I’ll call sound logs (sLog’s) where i’ll talk a bit about the trip and i’ll upload as soon as posible. They’re intended to be in spanish as most of my family (grandpas specially) barely speak english, however, if you are interested in listening to me and are not spanish speakers, please leave a post in here and i’ll seriously consider that.
Apart from the internet problems, so far so good. NY was amazing, a day and a half of road (M80) and now in Chicago, which seems great. More to come, now I’m off to a jazz concert somewhere downtown…

So here I am, 6:10 am (Spanish time yet), sit in front of the desk number 306 at Barajas Airport waiting for it to open and let me check-in. In a few hours I’ll be “hubbin’” in Zurich and, after a few more hours, landing at the JFK airport in New York. But before I jump into myself and dive through my feelings, let me do little bit of update: after a weird and feelings-mixed week in Santander, attending a course on history of economic thought at the summer university, I was driven directly to the Pyrenees mountains where, after a few adventures to finally get to the place, I enjoyed one of the most magic nights lately: a reggae concert by a lake, completely surrounded by nature and backed by my very close friends. Just the breath of fresh air I needed in the middle of this crazy time which started a couple of months ago and will finish when I finally settle in Tempe, AZ, by mid-August. After the concert I came back home for the last week, where the clock was not slow enough to let me fit within that time all the things, people and events I wanted to meet. However, I think I did all the paperwork I needed to, I met a good bunch of friends I won’t till Christmas and even got some uni-work done.
Back to the desk at the airport, it sounds like it should feel like Something starting or Something coming to an end; at least a break point. But actually it doesn’t. Unlike in Sweden, where I was expecting the take-off for a long time before it happened, these last days at home have been many things but waiting for something to come: I have tried to delay everything dealing with this trip till the last-minute (I started packing up 3 hours before leaving my room…) and tried to grab “home’s joys” while possible. this doesn’t imply I won’t miss my broad Family (I’m sure I will indeed) but just that I’ve tried to keep my mind busy so I can’t say I didn’t seized the moment. Personally, I I’d like to believe it’s a sign proving I’m “learning” how to travel and how to leave places where I’ve been happy: while two years ago I’d start missing places I’d enojyed before I’d left them, now I focus on enjoying them till there’s no more to enjoy. Easy to tell, getting easier to do… Yet I can’t say I’ve learned how to say goodbye (still hating them).
