Explicación:
It’s been 12 years since I moved to Spain.
I first came on vacation with my dad, in August 2004. We were in France for a week, and Spain for a week.
At the end of August, we were in Granada, and I met a girl. She wasn’t Spanish, but she lived in Madrid.
She was an Erasmus student. And I was very young.
21 years old, actually.
I went back to Arizona, but suddenly my life wasn’t working out. Soon I found myself with no job, no house and no girlfriend…
And all I could think about was that girl back in Madrid.
So I called her. And offered to come and visit.
She said it sounded like a good idea, so I came.
I arrived on an overnight flight from Philadelphia, on October 21st, 2004, and called her from the airport.
She told me to meet her in a plaza in Alto de Extremadura (not the most exciting part of Madrid).
It was a cold and rainy morning in October, just like this one, when I got off the metro and started my new life. I sat in the plaza waiting, in the rain, with the distinct feeling I was making a huge mistake.
