All, A little past the halfway point, I thought I'd drop you guys a line to let you know how I'm doing. I love travelling. I must do more soon. I'm neither most adventurous, nor the most timid traveller. I have my own style. I like museums, but I'm not bound to see every one. I like to wander the cities, but I'm not above sitting around visiting with people. I like to see how people live, but I often crave the peculiar isolation of a city teeming with strangers. In short, I'm just me, but over here. Some parts of my personality are intensified. I'm more susceptible to being inspired than usual. I'm more alive to the people around me. Yet I am also much more intro- spective (wow! that's a scary thought :) In short, I'm getting exactly what I wanted. Something to energize me. Shake me up. I learn how to live from everyone I meet. And I do miss home. I think I appreciate it more now. And while we could undoubtedly learn a lot from European life, they could do with a tip or two, too. Details of my travels and travails are available at http://www.dantheman.com I am caught up in the notes section. More later, --dan PS> Much gratitude to Al for his fiduciary role.
