Home again

Traveling for Gary and I is about the experience of learning new things, meeting new people and living in a space that is unique to us. Like so many travelers, we want to see the highlights which fall into the tourist category. We also want to move off the path to one less traveled and meet people that are local and in their element. We are often thrilled by the little things that are not found in a Rick Steves book or a travel show. Things like:

• Your morning wake-up call from the bells from a 10th century church just outside your window.
• Learning that your new friends are also interested in good food and drink and not afraid to show the results.
• Seeing the local feathered and four legged residence.
• Tasting the foods that the locals eat.
• Discovering the art on the street in unexpected locations.
  

We look forward going back to Europe, seeing the areas that we did not have time for on this trip. The UK, Greece and more of Spain are on the short list for our future travel. We have friends that we hope to visit in the Nordics and hope they visit us in America. This is my last entry for this journey but we plan on many more.
Stay tuned,
Gary and Delys
