OK, Here goes I’m writin’ a blog here!
A blog seems more and more appealing to me as I watch what Brian has been able to do with it, I’m truly inspired to think this will be a great daily mental exercise and a lot of fun.
In the past I have kept daily journals of my life and have enjoyed the experience. Looking back, I wonder why I discontinued my journal writing when it was so good for me. It was rewarding while I was writing it and later when I was reading it. Now when I read my old journals it’s like touching a little slice of my life and it always comes back to me in full color, I feel that I have a foot in both sections of time simultaneously.
What can I put into today’s first entry? It’s been a nice day, one long overdue rest period for Brian and I. It’s only after the excitement of a long trip is completed that it settles in that you’re bushed. We had 23 magnificent days in Europe this last month. We just returned from Spain on October 19th, a day before my 72nd birthday.We flew to Milan on September 27th and worked our way across the bottom of Europe through Italy, (a ride through Monaco), then into France, what a beautiful experience France was, we loved it. On into Spain, over to Gibraltar in the UK for two days, (charming place) back to Spain through the Costa Del Sol (Oh my was that nice), a 190 MPH train from Malaga to Madrid and then home. What an amazing experience. For the most part we were on the move pretty much all the time. We covered a lot of ground in a very short time. Then we hit the spots where it was OK to stay for two or three nights, that was fun. It was the vacation of a lifetime and will always be sharp in my mind.
Well, for a guy who said he didn’t have anything to say I’ve gotten a start here. I enjoyed this experience and will look forward to being much more part of the blog scene.
Ciao’Tom
