Armchair Travel

Time for a mental vacation, which for me means remembering a physical one. A drive through the European countryside. That's canola, I think, a bit blurred on the bottom, shot from a moving vehicle.

A few miles down the road, the fields gave way to a village.

And then, a city.
Like any foreign travel, it was a revelation. I strolled on ancient streets, laid my eyes on sights I'd always longed to see. There was time to write and to blog and even to get lost.

When I came home I was not quite the same person I was when I left. Travel is like that. Even armchair travel.
