“Travel Loot” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Well, I finally finished up with all my back posts of our trip! The photo above shows a few pieces of the loot haul, and in the dish is a small stone that I picked up from the water at Barceloneta beach. I don’t even know if it is imported or not, but the authenticity isn’t important. It’s the memory that it represents that gives it value. One of my favorite movie scenes explains what I mean.
Anyways, here are a couple lists I made about the trip.
Total miles traveled: 12,905
- Plane: 11,273
- Train: 921
- Boat: 29
- Bus/Taxi: 682
Highlights/Bucket List
- First trip to Africa – That makes it four continents for me!
- Crossing from Africa to Europe by ferry – The so-called Strait of Gibraltar have been one of those mythical things since I was a little kid
- Touching the Mediterranean – Again, like something out of a dream. Isn’t this where the Greek gods/heroes used to play?
