monday memories

How perfect is the gift of a travel diary? It can be a tight squeeze finding the time to make entries along the way. In between tiring day tours, trains, buses and continuously packing up luggage.

It's well worth putting aside a few minutes each day to produce a short dialogue of the days events including sights, smells and thoughts you experienced. When you open that diary after completely forgetting about it months or even years later the feeling is totally euphoric. You'll surprise yourself as I have done, turns out I was a very consistent diary submitter.

While in Venice 
6:30pm 17th April 2010
We're on a bus in Venice, driving away from the Grande canal and the city and into the middle of nowhere. The most beautiful thing just occurred..I looked out the window to my right to a field full of dandelions. Just as I looked out the window a big gust of wind swept up all the buds and small speckles of dandelion filled the sky. Special.

Happy Monday
