In late May and early June this year i add some vacation,i was out of work for thirteen days.
I just felt freedom from the very moment i stepped out of the door and came home.
At that time i didn't have no plans,didn't knew were to go or when not even how.Well,next day i just woke up early,about 7a.m,and decided to visite some Portuguese cities.About three hours later i was already in Aveiro,and early in the afternoon i was in Coimbra visiting the beautiful downtown center.That day i went back home but the journey didn't end,next day i was in Lisbon and then Évora,and decided spontaneously to get a bus and go to Barcelona.I was in Barcelona for three unforgetable days.
My vacation were just so unpredictable and wonderful,that i just felt immediately in another reality,didn't felt no stress or the pressure of rules and schedules. As always my vacation had an end and i had to face the every day life reality.And i can tell you that it wasn't easy  at all.Some hours earlier i was already feeling the schock of facing reality.When i got in my work's building i just  felt that everything was new and strange.It almost seemed that i never worked there and that it was a completely weird and unkwon environment.I work with computers and headsets cause i'm a call center work and when received my first call of the day i just  didn't knew what to do or say,it almost seemed that it was me there.
The schock did last for say three days but it was hard to recover.But  it's worth the schock of course,cause to have that schock you have to  go out there and face new realities and places as well as cultures and unpretensious behaviour.

I did the same thing and went island hopping. After that, I felt renewed!
