We’ve been in sitges for about 3 days now and finally feeling settled in, although tmrw we will be heading to London. We went to do laundry this morning and I got a baileys cappuccino while waiting. 😋
Switched to an upgraded room in this two-star hotel and it really makes a difference. The other room was much more noisy and damp. This room was just 8 euro more per night and feels much more light and airy. I picked the other room because it was the lowest priced option without even weighing or looking at the other options. It’s the azn in me, too automatic sometimes to realize the cheapest option isn’t always the cheapest deal.
The azn in me really likes the cheap, seemingly high quality food here. Pate for 1,90 euro?! The canned stuff is even cheaper. Tons of cheap pickled things and tons of really fresh produce. Got a le tur-esque cheese for 3,99. The sliced meats are really good too for just a few euro per pack. Point is, would love to have this back in the states. Best of all, Ernest tells me the bread 🥖 here won’t make me fat. 😛
I wrote yesterday at the beach and it felt nice to do what I came here for. Starting to get into the groove of things and not so distracted by constant new stimulation. Also found that blogging on my phone is actually pretty easy. Doesn’t have to be this whole ordeal with bringing a laptop, looking for wifi, carrying pen and paper, etc.
Ok, the bad things. Too much eating and drinking, will tone it down. I’d be okay living off cheap food from the mercat for a few days. Cigarette smoke/throat irritation and mosquitoes. I have all these bites and some are quite painful. I have one on the side of my foot which hurts when I walk. I have one on my neck that makes it look like I got bit “by a one-toothed vampire” according to E. Two on my face, luckily my bangs cover. Small tiny ones on my finger. A handful on my left elbow that makes it looks like a butt. 🍑🤪 lol Some have big open holes in the middle, some are tiny and hurt to the touch. The worst ones form clusters of puss-filed bumps and bubbles that have potential to fester into big blisters. Gah! No matter where I go in the world, I get bitten. Mosquits estúpids!
