Back from Barcelona

Yeah, I'm back but I wish I wasn't. Barcelona was beautiful and I had a great time there. I wish I was still travelling, not stuck in Barcelona but on the road. Now it feels a bit dull to be back home but let me tell you about my trip. First thing we noticed was that the sun never seems to rise over there. 8 a.m. and it was still dark, I gueess that's why they wake up later in Spain. But Barcelona is beautiful both in the morning and in the night. As soon as we got there I saw plenty of fruit stores. I was already watering eheh. The fruit there was awesome and I had a lot of great food. I also had some rice at the Wok to Walk on the Ramblas. I know it's not raw food but it was an acceptable exception considering it was vegan. Plus I had some of the best fruits and smoothies and a lot, really a lot, of olives. I love olives and I love them better in Spain! So here are a few pics I took there:

On the last day, before leaving, I woke up early and went runnin from my hostel to the Ramblas. It was a 5km run and it was fun because I could see a lot of things that I missed the days before. Here's a picture of the city at 8 a.m. As you can see it's still dark and the sun isn't up yet.

After Barcelona we went to see Dalì's house in Cadaques. Unfortunately we couldn't get in because we should have booked a visit but the landscape was awesome. If you happen to be nearby and have a chance make sure you go there. Here are a few pics of Cadaques and Portlligat:

Now I am on a 4-day fasting (I've been fasting for about 36 hours now). I have done this before and now it really seems to be easier, I guess it's because I'm detoxing less and less (because most of the toxins have gone already, so I'm "cleaner") and  so I guess I might find it easier to go on without food in the next few months. Why fasting? Because it helps the body get rid of all the junk that you put in it mainly. It's a simple explanation, if you're curious about it I'm sure the web can help you understand it. That or Herbert Shelton's books. Anyway it's helping me feeling better because every time I do this I feel stronger and  healthier, not to mention the cleanliness of my mind. Just be careful if you've never done it before because it can be dangerous if you took a lot of drugs, meds or had a bad diet, if you're overweight and so on. Gather a lot of info about it before you actually do it. Again, Herbert Shelton's books are great for that, Arnold Ehret's ones too.
As I was writing this blog I received my bansuri flute from this site: http://www.ananddhotre.com/
if you need a bansuri this is definitely a good place to buy. Great instrument, great service and super fast delivery! This made my day. Here's my beauty:

The way back

I went through hard times in my life,  like most of us,  and I tried to fight my way out of the darkest hours when I was younger. And when I say fight I mean literally,  even if my fights were mainly with walls or hard surfaces rather than with people. I'm not saying this out of pride or for some nostalgic feelings but because yesterday something weird happened to me. Yesterday it was very cold and I had slept less than usual so I couldn't find a way to keep myself warm other than my car heating system, so I kept it at maximum temperature. As the air went through the vents and crushed on my hands,  I was feeling it burning my knuckles because it was way too hot and all of a sudden I thought that I had to direct the vents away from my hands because they were wounded for punching a wall. I knew where the wounds were without looking at them and I could feel them, the only problem was that my hands weren't wounded at all. It was a memory of something that happened to me a few years ago,  on September of 2007. But it didn't feel like a simple memory because yesterday I could feel those wounds as if they were really there. I'm having a lot of experiences like this one,  lately. It all started with my detoxification which happened after I changed the way I was eating, after I started following the natural hygiene schemes. I feel as if the toxins that are melting away were holding pieces of information that are now running free through my blood stream and that my body can recognize and decode as memories, but more vivid and real than usual memories. Of course I'm not talking of deja vu or deja veçu, this is something else. Plus they're going backwards, in chronological order as if the toxins that are melting away now were older than the ones that did so a few weeks ago. Now I'm really curious to find out where this way back leads in the end.
