A different world

Andrea asked us about what had happened there. She had been to India for three weeks and now she has found a very different world: our English had improved a lot, our friendships had grown wildly and we even had a new Whatsapp group with her friend Elena. Alex and me went to her table at Portland Ale House last Wednesday and welcomed her after her journey. She went to India to attend a wedding and because of her eyes we could realized that it had been quite an adventure for her. She explained us a bit of it (e.g. how she had to sleep all alone in a train station upon arrival) and she will explain all of you the details if she finally decides to join the blog. She had changed too. Her heels were lower than usual and stronger her presence. There was a shade in her voice and this shade told us that her eyes had been seeing things she'd never thought she would ever see. We were talking for half an hour and we even met two friends of hers... One of them, by the way, who thought that I was from New York so that I felt obliged to say "Thank you but sorry". Then we changed tables and went to my favourite one, the one with the Jack Daniels' bottles' lamp. There we were talking with Cecilia, the Sicilian girl and an American guy. Then Kummy and Maribel joined us. We didn't know Maribel and she was talking about her trips to the United Kingdom, her latest stay in Liverpool and the very different way of life that British people have. We had the confirmation a bit later: when we left Portland to go home I said goodbye to Kummy from afar and she scolded me for not doing it in the Spanish style... Just as I did last week, when I scolded her for doing it in the British one. Finally, after another great night at Portland, Alex and me headed to Benimaclet and went through the night highlights. Then I noticed how much I like the way Alex's words overflow his mouth just before he starts talking.
