A little bit of Europe in Victoria

I decided that it must be a mindset. Here I am longing for Europe but then I realized that perhaps I wasn't giving Victoria a chance. So the sun was shining and I took my book to the inner harbour. I sat on an outdoor patio and listened to music. Soon I was chatting with others (just like in Europe...lol). Anyway, I think I just got a compliment. These two gentlemen started chatting with me and at one point one of them asked me age. Then one of them upon hearing it said, "I really hoped that you were older than what you looked"...lol.

In a town like Victoria where youth is optimal it was actually the best compliment I could get...lol. I think it is the first time anyone has ever hoped I was older.

Well off to return my movies

Thoughts on being home

You know I was reading my messages tonight and my trip feels so far away...like another lifetime. I am back home in the "regular" and "normal" but yet part of me yearns to be back in Europe. I loved it there. Maybe I was meant to be European...lol. Or maybe that is a vacation and I have never really had one before so I am yearning for more.

Well on the up side...I am going to a conference in Austrailia next May if they accept my work. So Europe aside I guess it is "Down Under" for me next year.

Now to figure out where to live in a few weeks... I have a place but fell in love with another. I really don't know but I believe in fate so if I am meant to live in the "other" it will work out otherwise I am moving to Cook Street...not bad at all.

till later

Home for two weeks

Well I have been home for two weeks. It is amazing that you can find time in your busy life to blog when you are travelling but the time disappears when you are at home and back. Today later I will sit down and start to write.
