I think my body hates me. I sent it 6 hours into the future when we arrived in Rome, then two weeks later I sent it 9 hours into the past when we arrived in California, and then I sent it 3 hours into the future when we got back home. We've had late nights, early mornings, late mornings, and I got sick when we were in Barcelona. It's just impossible to explain how freaking amazing the whole trip was, so I'm just going to say check out this link: EUROPE TRIP.
I mean, I don't think it changed my life (at least not yet), but it definitely scratched that "travel itch" that has been plaguing me for awhile. You know, that itch that says: "this place feels too small! You gotta go get OUT there! See the world! Spread some wings!"
So Julie and I flew through Italy, France, and Spain- just really digging into the food, culture, and people. It would have been nice to have more time, but by the end we were pretty dang BEAT!
Hope you are giving yourself the chance to spread out a few feathers and explore a culture different from your own. It might be on the other side of the world... or it just might be down the road. I know I want to get to know my neighbors better, and perhaps seek out some of the hidden subcultures in Durham.
