not a great start

Spain is hard. It took us forever to find a place to live and people stare at me like I´m an alien. I suppose I am. I don´t like fervently wishing I looked different.

But we´re meeting a lot of nice people and seeing lovely buildings. The weather was lovely, but today it´s impressively hot. We found an apartment living with a 50-ish guy from the states and a young couple from South America. They´re very nice. We´re going to move our stuff over tonight and perhaps I will sleep better.

I don´t have much time to write and have fallen into a slightly foul mood, so probably shouldn´t write at all. I don´t like to record my negativity.

Any tips on getting past feeling shitty about slimy Spanish guys making rude (I think) comments as a walk down the street and making me feel too blond, too white and too fat? Thanks. I´m not sure I like Spain at all.
