Barcelona and a little miracle

In August, 2018 I flew from Moscow to Barcelona. It was very hot in Moscow, but in Barcelona it was real heat. Every day I carefully thought out my route: I tried to be in places with air conditioning during the day and walk and see the sights in the afternoon. All the same the heat was unbearable. I often felt bad and strangers tried to help me.

Barceloneta beach

One day I was returning from Barceloneta beach, walking past some restaurants. Suddenly I felt dizzy and my face was burning. The promoter stopped me near the restaurant, he invited me to go inside. He brought me a glass of water, put me under an air conditioner.

The promoter told that he came from Pakistan. There he worked for many years as an obstetrician. But his life was too hard and he was forced to leave his place and find a job in Spain. Just imagine, a doctor from Pakistan is forced to work as a promoter in a foreign country!

We talked a little with the doctor. I drank my water and felt better. And then the doctor told me that I was pregnant. I smiled and did not believe. We said goodbye.

A few weeks later in Moscow I found out that I was expecting a baby :smiley: :heart:

Russia and Spain are two different kind of weather. Russia is far further North, actually some parts are very close to the artic circle while Spain is further south of Europe, not far away from North Africa.

That is why you feel so hot because of change and unusual weather. And also maybe symptoms of pregnancy.

Best regards.
