Your 'adventures' sounded really exciting and I seriously think makes good background for a movie script (pardon my film and tv persona taking over here hahaha). I totally admire (and am utterly envious of) your courage to move to another city!

I also had penfriends, in Thailand and Sweden no less! At the time I found that quite impressive for a girl living in Middleofnowhere, Spain. Also I've lived in BCN for a year, my first working experience, fresh out of University. I lived just off the Ramblas, yes, next to the drugs dealers and the ladies of the night. I have really fond memories of that year, of all the bars, restaurants, clubs, beaches ... Zoe, I'm sure you will carry that little sunshine of Spain with you the rest of your life (insert emotional tear here). Good luck back in the UK!Irene Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305740925170438669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-53597593579815859892010-07-08T14:35:55.749+01:002010-07-08T14:35:55.749+01:00I am glad you shared this with us.

I love the serendipity of meeting your penpal again - and how lucky were you to get a penpal you got on with as an adult. BTW I have to add I am intrigued by the idea of university in Alaska - to someone who went to Lancashire for uni that seems very exotic:)Minnadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838971800070422776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-91385308219135567802010-07-07T22:02:29.917+01:002010-07-07T22:02:29.917+01:00Great story, I always wonder why and how people en...Great story, I always wonder why and how people ended up where they are!
