Traveling.. it is amazing all the places you can travel and even more amazing how a hotel room becomes more comforting and normal looking than your own home. All I want at this point in time is for one single weekend to spend in my home, no constant running around, no quick trips to Paris or Florence, no planning required except for what our next great meal will be... Pure laziness with the Playstation and Wii in its very best form. I do not believe this will ever be in my future...although I do have high hopes for a calm relaxing month in possibly March.
If I knew a fortune teller with a crystal ball, she would have a field day with how un-boring my life is. All of her fortunes would come true. You will meet someone new. You will go on a great adventure. You will have a romantic night with the one you are thinking of. It is virtually impossible not to experience all these things at once when you have a new city to explore. Too bad all I really want is to not leave the house for two days.
Since the middle of May, we have been to Strasbourg, FR; Lyon, FR; Beaune, FR; Mulhouse,FR; Besancon, FR; Zurich,Switzerland; Antalya, Turkey; Istanbul, Turkey; Paris, FR; Florence, Italy and countless little towns. I have only been here for 15 weekends! I have seen more churches than they have in the "Bible Belt" and crossed enough water ways to wonder why our main transportation in Europe is not by boat. I have gotten up at 4 am to be on a train for 4:19 am. I have been in Switzerland and France at the same time in the Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg a.k.a. EuroAirport. I have taken trips that not only require travel by foot, train, bus, taxi and airplane but also a transfer to a completely different airport within a city all for ONE trip! Life has been exciting, adventurous, crazy, physically and mentally tiring and absolutely gorgeous and stunning in every way.
Now please, everyone join with me, in holding out hope for a uneventful weekend to come my way soon. Although not this weekend... we are going to Basel, Switzerland. Enjoy your weekend!
