For our last weekend in Spain me and my friends spent the night on the coast in Almeria. Uploading the photos on Facebook, I opted for the rose tinted title 'A sleepover by the sea, under the Milky Way'. If I were to give you a more precise account of our trip to Cabo de Gata, it would probably sound a little less romantic. It was perhaps the most uncomfortable sleepover ever, that left me with 1 000 000+ bites, and consequently a swollen face and hands. It wasn't my best look, but a quick trip to the emergency department, one injection, and a few anti-histamines later I was A okay.
Allergy aside, I suppose the weekend was as lovely as the album title suggests. We did see the Milky Way amid countless stars (some shooting), and it was beautiful. I wasn't equipped to take a good photo but I have to say that more than the sea or snow, if you never have the chance to see the night sky naturally you will have surely missed out.
And of course, you can't fall asleep beneath such a spectacle without something suitably incredible to listen to:
This Mario remix is courtesy Brooklyn beat maker Rimar (responsible also for the delightful beachy tune above) and deserves a thorough listening to. The best way for me to describe it would be like a warm, fuzzy dream in 3 minutes. You know when you wake up and you don't quite remember what you dreamt, but know that it was something good?
Anyway, two weeks later and I'm still very much having a Rimar moment. Sadly this is no longer my soundtrack for stargazing, but the commute into London. That said, it still takes me elsewhere and despite the bite related complications that followed, I'd much rather be lounging on that beach than sat on the piccadilly line.
