Hello there to you!

Once you stop doing something for so long it can be a bit difficult to catch up; i.e, I haven’t blogged for a very long time.  I’m hoping I’ll find some inspiration to write individual posts a bit later on, but my overall feeling with my travels has become that of exasperation instead of excitement, which could be why I haven’t had the desire to share.    

The depths of Spain

Towards the end of my two weeks in Italy I didn’t want to look at my camera, let alone see another statue.  It began to seem like a waste of time to go to so many new places just to look at more things.   The month I spent in Wales over the summer was wonderful for more than a few reasons, but because I had the opportunity to see the city in a way that made sense to me, I was able to enjoy fully.  While I admire those who can travel for extremely long amounts of time and move around so quickly, I don’t understand where they get their energy.  After a while everything started to blur together and didn’t seem special.

Hopefully over the next few days and weeks I’ll have a bit of inspiration to share some things about my travels.  I’m now back in Wales and plan on spending the next few months over here.  I have a few things I want to do while I’m here, but my main goal is to learn about Wales.  I’m excited about being able to do some slow and local travel while still having a home base (and a kitchen!).  While I’m a bit turned off to the fast pace of travel I originally romanticized, I do want to continue to travel, I just want to do it at the snails pace I’ve realized I adore so much.

My 3 Things

1. Pinocchio is from Tuscany.
2. Slovenia is covered in lush forests and timber is one of it’s largest - though unorganized- markets.
3. Europe wants Obama for America.
