Bad luck and lots of laughs

Oh my god. If I were reading my life in a book, sometimes I would think that person were making things up. The last couple days have been so much bad luck and good luck all rolled into one, tears and laughing and pain and I love my life for it.

To start, I went out unicycling with my only unicycling buddy in Barcelona. I am getting better and I am finally able to hop upstairs. But I wouldnt stop there, no...I had to try to hop up onto and over a big tree root. So I fell, and sprained my ankle really badly. Poor Manuel didnt know what to do with this poor half-crying American girl. So he sat with me for a couple hours until finally we realized I wasnt going to be riding or walking again soon. So picture this: Manuel on his unicycle with me on his back, pushing my unicycle. Yes, it was like a circus in the street. He carried me home and was so sweet.
But the next problem came when I realized my wonderful aunt had wired me money, cuz I was out (again--and I havent even told you about the "getting a new atm card" ordeal) and I needed to pick it up that day. Well, my ankle was the size of a football, but still, I hopped and hobbled my way to the metro stop and downtown to the western union.

I had made plans earlier to meet up with a friend, a massage therapist, and his other two healing type friends, but I had canceled after I fell.
Well, I figured since I had made it downtown, his house was at that point no farther than my own so I went over there. I am so glad. I had someone icing my ankle and taking care of me and I gave and recieved a wonderful massage. We were up till 3am...and might I add, it was all in spanish. Granted, I didnt understand half of it, but I do ok, and it feels good to be in situations like that. That is why Im here, to know the people and experience precious moments.

Well, I didnt sleep much, due to the pain shooting up my leg, the telephone ringing and alarms going off in my room and other rooms at strange hours.
But morning came, and with it came buckets of rain. And I knew it was time to leave the house to finally go to Austria and visit my ex-boyfriend and amazing friend, David. So, I managed my painful way to the train station and got to the airport.
I was pushing time and worried I would miss my flight, when lo- and -behold, there is no ticket in the computer for me! After my wallet got stolen and I had no way to pay for this ticket, david offered to get it for me. Well, apparently his credit card didnt go through, so there I was, ticketless.
Luckily, I was carrying that newly acquired $300 and bought another ticket (again, luckily, for the same price as it would have been when david tried to buy it several weeks ago).
Well, when I was at that desk getting helped, I handed the guy my paper with all my flight info and directions to davids school in Austria. I forget to get it back from him after the whole ticket ordeal, so when i arrived in austria, I had no idea where to go and davids phone was turned off cuz he was in class.
So god sent me an angel. A guy from Spain, with perfect english, who lives in Austria and took an hour out of his day to lead me all over town, carrying my luggage and finally left me safely in this internet cafe, down the street from davids school, where he will meet me in any minute.

So, Im sure the adventure will continue from here.
I have to laugh and love it, or I might burst into tears, but right now the excitement of new adventures with old friends consumes me.
much love to all....have fun out there....
