Salut, La Rochelle.

Hey, La Rochelle.

Salut, La Rochelle,

I'd like to put you all in context. Maintenant, je suis a La Rochelle. Right now I find myself in La Rochelle, a lost coastal town in the Western side of France. I just arrived an hour ago and the sky has been looking grey ever since we left Barcelona, my hometown. Down there it was warm and sunny but, suddenly, in here it is all cold and foggy. In spite of disliking I am loving it. You may not agree but this is the perfect scenario for what I have in mind, which is: writing, studying, relaxing, not caring about my daily life and focusing in finding my, utterly lost, equilibrium back again because I couldn't be more sincere when I say I really, really gotta bring it back to me. A little bit of peace. A little bit of space. Yes, please.

So you might still be wondering what is it I am doing here (besides the writing and relaxing and bla bla part), well, in that case, the answer is my sister's been living here for three months now for her Erasmus semester so me and her boyfriend just came up here to stay with her for the holidays which, if you have noticed it makes three of us. A corny couple in love and me. Yes, and me. But, seriously, it's fine. Just to be a little bit on my own not caring much about other people, just being a little bit alone with myself in order to resolve this chaos taking place in my mind. This mess hurting in my heart.

This is only the first day, I went for a brief walk around the city right before getting to write this post and I already got some of this cities' essence. I like it. It has something of a graceful and endearing enchant. It's kind of small, quiet and cute. Low buildings, houses, classic and chick bars and stylish boutiques. The harbour, the sea sound, the salty smell flying in the air and a little bit of freedom. Finally, freedom.

So, here I am, La Rochelle, what is it you've got for me?

Alors, ici je suis, La Rochelle, c'est quoi que tu as pour moi?

Kisses, my beloved readers.

Bisous, mes aimées lecteurs.
