A friend of mine recently bought me a world map. Yes, this seems to be a bit of an odd purchase for give a friend, but I think it's just perfect. When I got home this afternoon, I spread the map out in my bedless room and I looked over it. First, I pointed (to myself) all the places I had been to, and looked to see how far they were from "home". With a grin, I took my index finger to traced the "tracks" that I took on my free travel around Europe in 2005. I traveled a good distance in only 7 days. From Basel, Switzerland down to Rome, then UP to Vienna, then UP UP to Amsterdam, then trickled down to Paris. Ah, what a good time. I looked over Germany, since I might be heading that way in less than a year, then onto the Middle East. NOT because of the terrible and idiotic war that is happening, but because my good friend left on Friday for the Middle East. Of course, then I popped back over the North America to check out Canada, starting in the west. Victoria, BC first, of course, then up to the northern most point of the country the quickly ACROSS and back down to Fort Erie and Buffalo, NY.
Enough rambling, onto what I think about all this. It's very plain and simple but very complex and expensive, but this is what I have to say about this great big world. Damn, it's BIG, I better get started because I have a lot to see! :)
