Travelling with Space

Date: 1/18/2019

Space and I are travelling together. At first we are in England, then Paris, then Belgium then finally Austria. In Paris, it’s busy busy. The apartments we are in are on the beach. I go outside and tell the people out there to shut up because they are making too much noise and are German. The landlady comes in and tries to give me heck for being so rude. I close three doors on her but she gets in another one so I have to apologize. In Belgium; we stay with a woman who shines shoes. She reminds me of Suzanne. Short, dark hair, beautiful smile and positive affect. She tells me I should get the train to Austria with Space. Space and I ride our bikes to a station that looks almost African. We miss the train by going to the wrong platforms so we have to chase it down the tracks - over broken glass and uriney smells in the subway until we get to Austria. It is spring there, the blossoms are out. At the terminus station there is a party. Space tells me, “what do you think about turning over a new leaf?” I say “what do you mean?” He said “I understand about you wanting to start over. But I’m not ready. I’m not going to pretend I want it.” I said, “this trip fed me and honestly watching you here has made me fall in love with you over again. Let’s try again then!” and we were in agreement :)
