Happy Trails

March 6th, 2009

In a matter of hours, we’ll be heading on a much needed vacation… to take in some sites, see some family, and get a little space.

I recently remembered my first day out on my own (I was an student at SU’s satellite school) in London, when I lived there in 1997. I walked until I couldn’t walk anymore, and found myself in a French bistro eating Mesculin greens before they became commonplace.

Eating that (then) exotic lettuce was one of my happiest moments. Something so simple like lettuce, that I’d eaten for years, but in a totally new way — I felt like my whole world was opening up to new possibilities. Every bite made me smile a little more. After lunch, I remember taking to the streets, feeling like the sun shone even brighter than I had remembered it.

And that’s really what travel (especially to a foreign country) always does for me… Opens up my world, helping me see something I’ve always known in a totally new and (often) unexpected way.

Happy trails to you as well, my dear readers… always!
