I have a problem. I cannot erase this smile off my face. I’m still attached to that country of stones we built together, a place we shouldn’t try to go back to. Maybe the wind, or maybe a passing hiker, will knock down that beautiful, ephemeral construction in front of the Puig dels Bufadors antennas, where we left all our memories.
