Back to Europa!

An old map of Europa I have had since my Heidelberg days in 2001-2002

Well, I think the title speaks for itself. I will be headed back to Germany in two weeks, and I will use my three weeks on the European continent to spend a week in Iceland as well. This will mark country number 29 on my list of countries that I have visited.

I know the world is an unfortunate crazy place at the moment, and before deciding to come to Germany, I had spoken to a number of friends there about how they feel about me visiting. The vast majority of them told me to come visit. I think with everything that has been happening in the past few years, I find myself needing to get out of the U.S. to travel a bit just to keep some sanity.

This will be the only trip I will be making outside of North America this year. I would love to get down to South America (especially Argentina) this year, but due to time and expenses and other plans it won’t be possible at least this year. I still need to try to get back to India as well.

I’m happy to be fortunate enough to be able to travel to western Europe in the next few weeks. A lot of friends and new adventures await. I am even going to catch Beatsteaks and Die Toten Hosen in concert while in Germany.

Alles geht weiter!
