back in madrid

I have been away from a computer for a while. I havent responded to your texts or emails. I apologize.

here`s why. About a week ago i had a bike accident in fussen germany. i needed stitches on my leg and had every appendage bandaged up for some scrape or cut. Long story short, i returned to Madrid to recover and quite frankly to not feel alone.

I am very grateful to the german family who helped me until an ambulance came. I am grateful the doctor in Fussen and the doctor i saw later in Munich spoke enough english to communicate with.

The day of the accident i was very sad. Honestly i was scared. I am 27 and should be able to handle a situation like this but all i wanted were my parents. As i lay on my hostel bed amongst strangers i quickly realized just how far away from home i really was. Up until that point, even with the language barriers i never really felt homesick.

i cried on the phone with my mom. I was scared my trip had ended. Im stressed about the hospital bill. I am worried how long i will need to recover. Will i be able to do what i came here to do.

I have never been so happy to hear my parents voices over the phone.
Despite all that happened, i was lucky i just limped away with cuts and bruises and stitches. i could have broken bones or hit my head.

Stitches should come out this week. wounds are itching which is a good sign and i hope to be traveling again by the end of the month. sadly i dont think ill be able to bike for a while and i wont make it to some cities. I hope that i will be able to hike though.

but enough if what i cant do and more of what i can do....

which is finally post pictures
