My heart is beating only for Europe. You know how it goes – when I’m missing Europe, I pull out a photo. This was taken at a castle on a hill that my EuroGirls and I lodged in, in Rhine Valley, Germany. Too beautiful for words really.

“It’s more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail – then you can dream all the rest around it. Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?”Dries Van Noten

Quote stolen from The Coveteur, recommended by Bernice.

I want to schedule a series of fun photoshoots in April. Starting with Bernice. If you can rock and roll in front of a camera and want to share A Photo A Day with me, let me know!

If you don’t have them, you should go find some. Let the wise take you under their wing. They’ve been there and done that and they’ll show you all the different and greater ways of seeing things, life, that just makes perfect sense.

I cling to the wise and the experienced because there is so much to learn from them. I can have just one conversation and feel like I’ve read a big book at the end of it.

It was brutally hard to stop at Episode 4 last night. In fact, it takes an astounding amount of will power to stop at the end of any episode and go to bed. That’s the grip that Dexter has on my life these days.

PS. What is wrong with people? That’s the million dollar question.

We’re almost there! We’ve booked Portugal and Spain. Booking Prague, Czech Republic tomorrow and then that’s it! Time to shop and coordinate outfits for each city (even though we’re still a good 4 months away).

Prague to Lisbon to Porto to Madrid to San Sebastian to Barcelona. We could add one more city but we’re out of time and money.

The Trinity Killer. Oh my goodness, this is getting sooo GOOD.

I missed a photo yesterday because I simply had no time to even go on the computer.

So, it looks like it’s not making too much sense to do Greece with Portugal and Spain, so we’re now planning on doing the Czech Republic instead of Greece and then Portugal and Spain. We’ll see how that goes. Our plans seem to be changing by the day.

But who cares about my great day, when on the other side of the world, people’s lives are getting destroyed by an earthquake, while I’m having a great day. It seems a little wrong. I have nothing intelligent to say about it, so I won’t say anything more. It makes a nice water cooler topic, an ice breaker conversation, an awkward silence filler, a Facebook status, a Twitter tweet, a blog post; we can go on and on about how horrible it is, how awful we feel about it, and how much our hearts go out to the victims, but really, none of it means anything to anyone in the heart of the catastrophe. Maybe I’ll donate something somewhere here.
