prep part 2

the first part of preparing for my upcoming adventure (in 50 days) was getting into the habit of wearing my 30lb backpack. im still working on getting into that habit. now for part two: not drying my hair after showering. for the ladies out there who dont have perfectly straight hair, you know how difficult a task this can be. it takes self-control. 

recently, ive been employing my imagination. when im out and about, i visualize that i am actually experiencing all of these things while in a foreign country. when i was downtown, i was anticipating finding a fun bar with live music in belgium. when i was attacking a delicious scramble at real food cafe with lisa and molly today, i thought about brunching in paris with anna at a little cafe off the beaten trail. last sunday before the service, a lady sat down next to me and we started chatting. this led me to envision myself sitting on a train, talking to a fellow traveler with a unique and interesting story about their own journey in life. i think its good to have a fertile imagination. if anything, it keeps you easily entertained.
