So In the past year there is one
phrase that I have heard quite a lot that since arriving in Europe. And it
comes in different ways but it is all the same! “Awe that’s cute!” “Your cute.”
“ Ihr Deutsch ist so süß!” and “Your accent is adorable (and or cute!)” While I didn't notice that it happened so often in Germany by every German dude and
chick that I would talk to in German. But after arriving in Madrid I have met
an Austrian boy and a German Girl and I was talking with them in German. One of
these past four or five statements would be said before the conversation. I am
not sure what ever made me notice this BUT when I did this week I also noticed
that it kind of frustrates me the same way when I would try to speak and people
would not let me practice.
Now past this thought onto the next. As I am
sure many of you have heard there was a HUGE train accent in the north of
Spain. There were a total of 78 fatalities! I am sending my thoughts and
prayers to the families and people who were affected in this and I am sorry
that this happened around the same time as the religious holiday St. James Day!
This day is in celebration one of the 12 apostles. James came to Spain and spread
the word or Christ. There is normally a big celebration that happens in Santiago
De Compostela. This being the place where James remains are buried thousands of
people every year make the trek to come to visit the body and others just for a
the adventure of walking for weeks in a different land and culture than their
own. So again my thought, condolences, and prayers go out to everyone here in
Spain! And if you didn't hear about the accident I will add a link down below
with an article!From your deep thinking traveler,
Natalie.
