Feels like coming home.
It’s ninety degrees Fahrenheit, people on the street are smiling, and I’m back at my favorite café, ordering the usual: best hummus salad this side of Switzerland.
It’s so good to be back.
Today I was gonna post about a letter I wrote to one of my favorite authors. Someone whose books actually altered the course of my life in a meaningful way. I was really jazzed about it, but now…now I’m still excited, but I want to take my time. Ease back into the city, enjoy the gorgeous day here. So we’ll save that particular goodness for Monday.
Enjoy the weekend, y’all! Especially your favorite haunts.
love,
Kloncke 
your post gave us barcelona-envy. we miss it.
Hey Katie, I’ve been lurking around on here for the last week or so and figured I’d better show myself. Reading about your travels is so inspiring! It’s really helping me get excited for planning my own international adventure next year.
Nice to see ya,
Elisa
Nice post. Makes me want to try that hummus stuff. Wait!! You can take me to your haunt and let me taste it myself in three weeks. Yey!
Much love to you girl…
Elisa! Wow, thank you so much for delurking — it’s great to hear from you! (And also literally “hear” from you: listening to your latest radio show at this very moment. Dean Martin + Peter Salett = fabulous.)
Wishing you best of luck with your plans — where are you heading? And what inspired the traveling? Maybe if you haven’t already skipped town by then, we could have some NorCal face time over tea when I come home…
Jen, Barcelona misses y’all, too. But is better for you having been here.
And Dad, I’m so excited that you’re coming. Today I’m buying a second fan so that you and Mom won’t expire from the heat when you visit my apartment. ;)
Much love to everybody…and now off to some iced tea and readin’.
Dear Sweetheart Katie,
I’m having a great, great birthday. Your father and mother are with me and we mailed to you YOUR birthday card!!
We love you very much, and we hope to hear from you soon.
love, love, Oma
Katie — thanks for your recent comment! I hope you’re well these days and enjoying your time abroad.
Best wishes from northern Germany,
Lena
